Sweet Couple

Meet the Reeds.


They first heard about Abby the day she was born, while they were at an Emaus weekend with someone from our church who shared the prayer request.  They have been praying for her ever since!!  They live a few hours away.  We have talked through email and they have sent gifts and cards to Abby, but we have never actually met them in person.  

Until now.

The Reeds signed up to join our Red Shoe Shuffle team, taking a leap of faith and joining up with a bunch of people they'd never even met!

Can I just say how sweet this couple is?!?!?!

We all (my parents, the kids, the Reeds, and me) walked together the entire 3.1 miles, and I loved learning about them.  It was surreal to finally meet two of the people who have so faithfully prayed for our family for the last 2 1/2 years.  (I know that there are many more of you, and I would love to meet every one of you!!)

They played with Caleb and Abby as if they'd known them for years, and in some ways, they have!  :)

Nothing but love for these sweet people.  Nothing but love!

It was an honor to meet the Reeds. Their love was evident in everything they did and said. They are true blessing.

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

By
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

The Potty Man

By
Caleb LOVES to go potty! I have never heard a potty training story like this one....Caleb tells us when he needs to go, we take his diaper off, and he goes! Now, is it perfect? No, not at all! We aren't trying to potty train at at all, but we figure every time he goes is one less diaper we have to change! The only time we consistantly put him on the potty is when we give him a bath (he always pees in the tub, so we know he needs to go!) He almost always goes on the potty now instead of the tub though. When he's not "really" going potty, he's pretending to go potty! He's such a funny kid!

Lego Party: Favors

By
I'm a little slow in posting the Lego Party pictures, but I think I have a few excuses I could use.  At any rate, I wanted to share what I did for the party!  It will take a few posts, so stay with me.  I'll start with how I did the favors. These are the goody bags I made.  I just bought solid colored gift bags and matched scrapbook paper to each bag.  Then I punched circles and attached them with the 3D foam tape so that the circles were raised. I used the keychain (explained below) as a name tag on the outside. These are Duplo blocks.  I put a round magnet on the back and...voila!  A magnet!  (note:  hot glue doesn't work so well...I ended up reglueing them with my apoxy because the magnets fell off.) I made crayons using Lego man crayons.  Yes, I know this guy has lost half of his leg.  The others were already packaged and I didn't want to open one up just to get a picture.  I used a Lego mold  to make the crayons.  Caleb put small pieces of crayon in each m
