Emmy Lou: The Key to Sleep!

Today is one of those days when I wish I had ONE laptop that TOTALLY worked, instead of TWO laptops that have ISSUES! I have a story to tell, but it isn't nearly as great without pictures. I know I'll forget them if I wait to post the pics. I guess you'll have to wait on those until I get to Walmart.

Anyway, "Aunt" Jenn and Emma came over to play today. After lunch, the kids got swim suits on and headed out to the baby pool so that our bathing beauties could splash around. They had a great time playing! After Emma got tired, I put the edge of our little slide in the pool so that Caleb could slide down it into the pool. He LOVED it! (yes, all of this leads up to the funny story!)

We headed inside after a while and played some more until poor Emma was so tired she could hardly keep her eyes open! After they left, Caleb played a bit and then said he was hungry (4:30ish). He didn't have a nap today because he played all afternoon with Emma.

Just as I was putting dinner on the table, he had an accident. *sigh* I strip his clothes off, clean him up, and told him we'd get dressed after we ate. Well...

Halfway through dinner, Caleb laid face down on the bench at our table and promptly fell asleep...stark naked!! It was like immediate! I picked him up and carried him upstairs. While I was afraid that putting a Pull-up on him would wake him up, it didn't! He just curled right up in his bed. Poor guy...that little lady wore him out! :)

Like I said, it's much better with pictures. I'll post them eventually!

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 ...

Imagination Movers Photo Recap

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...

Bath Time Photos!!

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!)
