Disclosure Post

Image
By
In light of our medical bills and at the encouragement of many of you, I have decided to try to put my writing skills to work.  At times, I might be writing a review of a certain product or website.  These will be sponsored by advertisers and I will be paid.  I am required by the company I am working with to write a disclosure post so that everyone knows.  If this bothers or concerns you, please know that I am in no way trying to make money off of our current situation.  I hope that by now you can feel the depths of our love for Abby through my writing and we would much rather be a boring, normal family! 

God has other plans for us though and I am actually hoping that taking this avenue gets our story out and that we can be an encouragement to even more people!  I am learning that God has given me the gift of writing and if I can use that to help ease our financial burden a bit, I figure it is worth a shot! 

I will not accept any advertisements that compromise my beliefs or make me feel uncomfortable.  If at any time I start to feel that I don't like the way my blog is heading, I will simply stop writing reviews!

I am trying this out, but am also open to other ways to keep a paid blog.  I've been researching and this looks like a good company to work with. If you have other thoughts or suggestions, please let me know!

Please contact me directly if you have questions or concerns.  :)

Hi Julie,
You should take a look at www.Tumblr.com. More flexible than Blogger and you can set it up to automatically push your blogs updates directly to your Facebook if you want. Nice audio and video options as well. Free:)

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 never wi

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 most of the words to the songs, so
