Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the big day.  I'm writing this ahead of time because I plan to spend our day making memories and enjoying being a family!  Therefore, the emotions that I'm certain I will be feeling the night before surgery aren't quite there yet...thank goodness.

We so appreciate your prayers.  Abby is scheduled for first thing in the morning and we expect the surgery to go well into the afternoon.  I don't expect that we will be able to see her until late afternoon/early evening.  I will be posting updates on Facebook and on here as I can. I do have a blogger app now that makes things a little easier.  Mostly, I am pretty sure I'll be staring into space or pretending to read my book while my mind is racing.

We would be honored if you would join us in wearing purple tomorrow to show your support of Abby!  If you have a Joy Runners shirt that we sold as a fundraiser for RMH, that is perfect!  Otherwise, dress yourself in purple and choose joy!  I know that Abby would love to see selfies of everybody in their purple!  You can post them on Facebook or email them to me.  As she recovers, hopefully they'll put a smile on her face.  :)

Thank you for all of your love and support.  Abby is a fighter, and our God is greater!

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

The Potty Man

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

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
