I Got It!

You know that vacation I needed so badly?  Well, I got it!  Anyone who has or has had small children knows that the term restful is relative, but the trip was just what I needed.

We took two days to drive down to Florida with my sister and her family to visit Lego Land and the Magic Kingdom.  It was crazy, busy, loud, exhausting, hot...and a TON of fun!!

We got back on Saturday only to find out that we were hosting two students on a high school missions trip from Sunday-Tuesday!  (I had said that I couldn't host this time because of just getting back from vacation, but there was a mix-up and one more host home was needed.  It ended up being wonderful and such a blessing to have those two boys!)  After a few days of recuperating from all of that, getting my washer and dishwasher fixed, and catching up on laundry, I can finally share about our trip!

There will be many posts over the next few weeks to share the details, but I wanted to start with my favorite two moments of the trip:

Abby got to meet Anna and Elsa!! I got teary-eyed watching her get so excited over meeting them face-to face.  It was sweet.

 Caleb absolutely LOVED walking through Mini Land at Lego Land.  All of the city scenes are made out of Legos and Caleb was in heaven looking at all of the details!

Stay tuned for many more stories of our adventures!

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
