A Day at the Farm

Recently, Abby's preschool took a trip to a local farm to learn about the animals and pick a pumpkin.  (If you are keeping a grand total of pumpkin-picking, we're up to 6 pumpkins.)  Sadly, they didn't decide on a date until the last minute and I was already leading a staff development on the day that was chosen, so I wasn't able to go.  

Thankfully, Matt is off on Mondays and enjoyed a little Daddy-Daughter time.


Plus, anywhere with Anna is fun!

Matt was my photographer, so I have no idea what this is.  A dog?  A goat?  A gigantic rat?  Who knows, but she's petting it! 


Kids enjoyed time in the corn pit!


Everybody checking out the animals!


I have more pictures, but I'm very careful not to post pictures of non-family members without permission, so I've limited it to the ones that don't show faces.  But I think you get the idea.  Abby loves going to the farm, no matter where it is!

"(If you are keeping a grand total of pumpkin-picking, we're up to 6 pumpkins.)". Crack. Me. Up!! ;-D
Daddy-Daughter time!! Loving it. Loving it!! ;)
My guess of the mystery animal that Abby is petting? Based on "his" soft-looking fur coat and floppy ears, I would say it's a dog!! I could even tell you "his" breed!! Provided that I can remember what it is.... Curse my premature short-term memory loss!! ;-/
A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel!! I knew that!! Thank-you, My 4 kids!! ;-D

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
