Acting Debut

Tonight, Caleb and Abby performed in their first official musical.  Theater was an important part of my life growing up, and Matt and I still really love going to see shows.  I love being able to share this with my kids now!

Caleb was thrilled to have a great speaking part in the play.  His character is a Star Wars lover who turns every line into something from one of the movies....type casting?!?!  He has worked so hard and did a really great job!

Abby was one of the little angels and did a great job singing and sparkling on stage.  She learned every line and every word to every song (thanks to having the entire musical on CD so that Caleb could practice with it!), so it was pretty cute to watch her mouthing the lines along with the different characters.  When she wasn't on stage, she was quietly cheering Caleb on and proclaiming that her brother was doing a great job!

My boy was a bit glum after the show was over because he wanted to do it again!  He said he loved bonding with the cast and really had a great time.  The 7 leads spent a lot of time together running lines, and I think he really enjoyed being a part of a "team"!  I told him that I was always sad after a show was over, no matter how many times I did it.

Thank you to all of you who came to see the kids perform!  They loved that you were all there!

I will share pictures when I get them.  I was helping with 4s and 5s and my 3rd and 4th grade class, so there was too much going on for me to take pictures!  My sister took lots, so I'll post them soon.

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
