Thirty-One-derful Reasons to Support The Ronald McDonald House!

2/20/13 Update: Ok, the Thirty One website has been having issues. Use this link to get to my fundraiser page. So far we've had over $1200 in sales, which means over $240 for RMH!!! Thank you SO much to all of you who have made purchases so far. There is still lots of time to purchase something. If you don't want or need anything for yourself, buy something as a gift for someone else. Christmas is only 10 months away!! :)

2/18/13 Update: I have heard that the link below wasn't working, so I have linked it again and it should take you to the right spot now. So far, we have raised just about $200 for RMH! There's still lots of time to order, so please take a look using the link below. Thanks!

My friend Stacy has graciously offered to host a 31 party to help with our fundraising efforts for RMH. 20% of the sales will go to The Ronald McDonald House of Baltimore!!

I love 31 and have several bags of my own. My favorite is the large utility tote, which has been known to carry meals to people, pool stuff, groceries, and even soda tabs! I keep it in the back of my car and use it all of the time!

If you're looking for cute, personalized Easter baskets, or a Mother's Day gift, or even some Christmas gifts (if you're like me, you like to plan ahead!), please consider checking out our 31 fundraiser!

This is the link you will use to shop. Click the "place an order" tab. Then find my name/RMH and then click "shop now." If you have any questions, feel free to contact me and I will do my best to find an answer.

Thanks so much for your support of The House That Love Built!

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

If you happen to pick up the latest Reader's Digest, there is an article in there about Piper Breinholt , a four year old with CCMS. If you've been around here a while, you'll remember wayyyyyy back when we first received Abby's diagnosis that I was able to speak to Piper's mom, Reagan. The article is more about their story and not as much about the ins and outs of CCMS, but I think it's probably enough to get some people googling it and I'm hoping a few will end up here. Every once in a while, I give a blog post the title of Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome so that it would show up in Google. My ever-present hope is that people will stumble across my blog and 1) be encouraged by the hope we have in Christ, 2) feel a connection with someone in a similar situation as them, or 3) get excited over the miracles that have been performed in Abby's life!! (a combination of all 3 is great too!) :) Notice that it's not to get famous and it never wi

Bath Time Photos!!

As promised, here are lots of photos of Abby's first bath. Caleb was supposed to be in bed, but the bathroom is right next to his room... "I'm not too sure about this..." Once she learned how to splash, she was all smiles! Her first good hair wash! Gotta protect the trach! She really liked getting water poured on her head. It was cute! Smiley (and bubbly) for Daddy while he dried her off. All clean!! (Note the Lysol wipes in that last picture. They are NEVER far away!)

Imagination Movers Photo Recap

Seriously, The Imagination Movers were so much fun! They played lots of their own music, with some classic rock mixed in for the adults. There were also quite a few jokes and references to Baltimore, which was kind of fun. The whole night centered around this robot named Rock-o-Matic, or "Rocko." This is Mover Scott, and he wears Wobble Goggles that help him see new ideas. Caleb and Abby have a pair of goggles too. :) There are 4 main Movers that are part of the TV show, but they have 2 extra movers to play instruments and do back-up vocals in their live tour. Abby finished up her feed before the show started so that she would be free to dance! My dancing queen did NOT want to sit in my lap. The row in front of us was empty, and that is where she stood almost the entire show--dancing the night away. My Imagination Movers Caleb did his share of singing and dancing too. He knows most of the words to the songs, so
