3 Fun Things That Have Happened This Last Week

1. I am really getting into the groove now at work. Things are starting to fall into place and I'm enjoying what I'm doing. It's definitely different than being in the classroom, but I like trying something new.

2. "Little" Heather (as Caleb refers to her) came to visit us on Tuesday for dinner! Caleb and Abby loved the attention she gave to them!

3. Caleb and Abby are going to be in a wedding this summer! Although I might be a bit biased, I think they chose two pretty cute kids to be the flower girl and ring bearer. :) (There will be two of each, and the flower girls will ride in a wagon pulled by the ring bearers! Good plan, or we'd be going into overdrive trying to get Abby walking!!) :)

I am soooo happy your new job is working out for you - it's nice that a sacrifice which one makes "always" works out when God is along for the journey AND how exciting that both of your children will be in a wedding. I just can't imagine how many batteries you'll need for your camera that day!!

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
