Spa Day

Image
By
As a special birthday treat for Abs, I set up a home spa for Anna and Abby to enjoy.  They LOVED it!

First, we started with the foot soak.  This went pretty well until the splashing started.



Then it was time for facials.  The girls both thought this was hysterical!

Soaking off the face mask.

I braided Abby's hair for the first time.  She loved it!

I put a little make up on her too.  Anna didn't want any, saying, "Make up is for Mommies!"  I think she's heard that a few times when she's been caught playing in her mom's make up!!

I straightened Anna's curlies.  She thought it was beautiful, but Amy prefers her curls.  I do too.  It fits her personality.

After the spa time was over, they watched a few episodes of Abby's new Hello Kitty movie. 

I simply love how close these girls are.  Heading in from the playground the other day, Abby put her arm around Anna and put her head on her shoulder.  Anna put her arm around Abby and said, "Best friends forever!"  I'm pretty sure the teachers' hearts melted a little bit.  I hope they always stay this close!

Looks like they really enjoyed the experience! They’ll probably be future spa ladies themselves! Minus the splashing, hopefully. Haha!

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

Bath Time Photos!!

By
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

By
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
