Elsa's Photo Shoot

One of the surprises of Abby's Wish Day was having a photo shoot after her transformation!  The photographer was fantastic and Abby was SO cooperative!  If you know Abs, you know she's a bit stubborn.  Since we couldn't prepare her for the photo shoot, we had no idea how she would do.  But she was such a little ham and totally loved the camera!

When we were packing for the trip, I had to convince Matt that Abby needed her fancy silver sparkly shoes.  He felt like they were unnecessary and she could just walk around in tennis shoes.  I reminded him that she was going to BE Elsa and that Elsa needed fabulous shoes!  However reluctantly, he was able to fit the silver shoes in our bulging suitcase.  But seriously, how perfect are they?!?!  They were worth the extra stress on the zipper!






The Memory Maker editing software allows you to include signatures of the various characters.  So here's Elsa!


Elsa's bodyguard took his job very seriously!  Doesn't she look like a damsel in distress?!


She's using her freeze powers!


Although I'm not normally one for studio pictures or glamour shots...I LOVE these pictures!!  I absolutely love them!  They are a visual reminder of an amazing day!

As a writer, an artist who paints pictures with words, I spend way too much time describing things. These pictures!! One word.... Beautiful!! No. Two words.... Darling!! No. Three words.... Precious!! ;)

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
