A Letter to My Son

Image
By
Dear Caleb,

13! A teenager!!!  Wowsers!!!  How the heck did you get so old??  (I'm not old though, mind you.  Just you.  Don't forget that!)  It seems like just yesterday you were the little guy with an amazing vocabulary!  Now you are a much bigger guy with an even more amazing vocabulary!

This has been a good year for you, Buddy.  You have done a lot of growing up and are figuring out who you are in this world.  Your life is filled with music and theater, which makes you so happy!

Your schedule is just as full as anyone who plays a sport!  I love watching you up on the stage because I know how much you love theater.

Listening to your sing your songs as Horton puts a huge smile on my face.  I can't wait to see the finished product!

You are SUCH a smart kid--sometimes too smart for your own good!  Ha!  You absolutely love getting lost in a book and have so much knowledge about so many subjects!

Your most recent interest of quantum physics kind of baffles me, but as long as your happy!  It doesn't take long for people to realize how smart you are, and I know you are going to make an impact on this world!





One of my favorite things about you is your compassion for others.  You have a heart for the people around you and genuinely care about them.  You are learning valuable leadership and serving skills through Fellowship of Christian Athletes and you are starting to recognize how your actions affect how people see Christ through you.  This is a valuable lesson and I pray that you continue to point others to Christ.



Thank you for being a fantastic son and brother.  We love you so much!!  Happy birthday!

Love,

Momma

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...
