Last Sunday

I keep forgetting to blog about the church service last Sunday. I must remedy that immediately!


The worship team at our church performed "Our God" as a special music selection. You may remember that we have adopted that as our family theme song and our worship leader knew it! He shared a bit of our story with the congregation, then let Caleb introduce the song in his own way. We had a video of Caleb singing "Our God" that my sister took, so they played that on the screen before the worship team started singing. Watching Caleb sing was enough to make me cry (in all honesty, I cried wayyyyy before that even started...), but the whole thing was just a really sweet gesture of love and support to our family. Looking around at the faces of people in the congregation and the choir, I think it meant a lot to everyone else as well. After all, so many of them have been traveling this journey with us!
If you want to listen to "Our God," check this out!  It's Chris Tomlin's live version.  I want to post the video of our worship team singing it, but it's a 20 minute video and I'm not sure how to edit it.  If I figure it out, I'll be sure to post it!



In other news: Abby's occupational therapist came to work with her today and was very impressed with how much better her hands were! She could tell I've really been working on them and even said that she didn't think there was any need for the braces after all! We sure showed them, didn't we Abby Girl?!

The song was really inspirational. Caleb is so cute when he sings it. (John, so you don't feal jealous, you were "cute", too! Ha! Ha!) I look over at Amy and there was someone with a video camera aimed at me. I hope she was focused on Amy rather than me. I needed to be kind of blurry in the background since I was a little emotional.

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

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!)

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 most of the words to the songs, so
