Christmas recap

Image
By

While illness tried its best to mess with our holiday plans, we all ended up being healthy enough to celebrate with family!

The highlight of MY day was watching Caleb's reaction to getting a Kindle.  He really didn't think he was getting one, and he actually cried when he saw it.  He was so grateful and excited!  It was very sweet.



Abby got an American girl doll named Marie Grace, along with a doll bed and a doll table/chairs.  She was thrilled and her two dolls are snug in their new bed as we speak!



Other highlights for Caleb:
* several awesome Lego sets he is looking forward to putting together
* all of the Star Wars movies on dvd
* an under armour MD shirt
* lots of new books to read!

Other highlights for Abby:
* lots of doll clothes for her new doll
* a spinny swing that we hung from the treehouse
* a Frozen microphone
* Chapstick with her name on it! (It's always fancier with your name on it!)

I was so surprised and excited to get a lovely Pandora bracelet with 3 beads, as well as a canvas of our most recent family photo.  He did a great job!

Matt has been enjoying the 64 gig iPod I gave him as a birthday/Christmas present, and he also got an ultra slim wallet and an Under Armour MD shirt to match Caleb.

We are thankful for family time and had a fun game night tonight.  Everyone picked a game:  Caleb-Pictionary, Abby-kerplunk, Matt-Uno Attack, me--Sorry Sliders.  

I hope you enjoyed your Christmas as much as we did!

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 ...

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 m...
