Florida 2014: Lego Land!

On Sunday and Wednesday, we headed about an hour away to visit Lego Land. It was a big hit with everyone!!

My sister made these adorable shirts. She is the queen of iron-on tshirts. I am just not creative like this. It's hard to see in the picture, but their names are on the heads in the Lego font too.

This is the face of a super-excited boy before we go into Lego Land!!

At the entrance to the park.

They had a whole "Build and Test" lab where kids could build their own cars and race them. All of the kids got really into it!

They also enjoyed driving and boating school. The parents realized we have a LOT of work today before we let them out on the road by themselves!

The main characters from The Lego Movie came out for pictures while we were eating lunch, so the kids ran out to get their pictures taken before the line got too long.

One of the hardest rides was the Firetruck Relay! You had to pump the truck to make it move down the track, and it was HARD! I may have needed the help of both employees working there in order to get our truck to where it needed to be...

Caleb and Abby both loved these horses that rode around the track. Caleb swore that he went faster when he clicked his heels and yelled, "Giddy up!" :)

The parents got to enjoy some rides too!

I have lots more to share from Lego Land, so stay tuned!

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
