The Party Recap

Enjoy the recap of Abby's mermaid party!

We had it at our church at the last minute in order to keep our house germ-free for Abby.  It ended up working really well because we could spread out and use multiple rooms.

The food set-up







Sand and Sea cupcakes with sugar shells and candy pearls


Party favors:  sand buckets, glow stick tritons, goldfish, and sand castle suncatcher paint sets


We had a separate room set up with the crafts!  The kids made mermaid shell necklaces and sand art dolphins.
 

Matt decided to take on the sand art by himself!  Crazy man!  :)  I joined him when we finished the mermaid shell necklaces. 




After we ate some snacks, we went on a treasure hunt!  Caleb and Sara hid the clues ahead of time and the kids just loved going around the children's wing trying to find the next clue!









Abby found the treasure!



The treasure was a necklace, sea glass, shell, and chocolate coin for each kid!


Lighting the candles on her cupcake


"Happy birthday to you..." 


"Happy birthday to you..."


"Happy birthday, dear Abby..."


"Happy birthday to you!"


Oh Tori...you are an endless ball of laughs!


Time to open presents!



All of the girls liked Abby's Lularoe skirt she got from Aunt Amy and asked if they could share it!


Same thing with the Lularoe dress she got from Nina and Paw Paw! :)


At the end of the party, all of the kids went in to the skylight room to play with the toys int here.  It was so cute!  Even though they didn't all know each other, they played together so well like they had been friends forever! 


Friends and Family shots to come soon!  :)

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...
