Good Mail Day!!

It was a good mail day!!!!  

My long-time friend Elizabeth sent Abby and me the cutest bracelets ever!  What a fun way to start the weekend!  Wanna see?!?

Mine is a sweet little bracelet with black Swarovski crystals.  


On either side of the heart, I have one garnet and one opal because they are Abby and Caleb's birthstones.  

I knew about that part, but the heart with the sweet picture of Abby and Caleb (with We Choose Joy on the back!!) was a complete surprise.  

I LOVE IT!

Abby's teeny little bracelet is, of course, Hello Kitty.  :)  There are dark and light pink Swarovski crystals on hers, with a dangling Hello Kitty charm.  


This girl woke up in a nasty mood after her nap.  The tears immediately stopped when I handed her the bracelet.  Can you guess what her favorite part is??



Both of our bracelets are very well-made.  Elizabeth creates all of the tiny links in between crystals by hand.  Yeah, I have NO idea how to do that!  The clasps seem strong enough to withstand the tugging of a little girl who wants to hold her Hello Kitty charm in her hand! 

Jealous?  

You can browse Elizabeth's Etsy shop and find something pretty for yourself.  She has lots of pre-made necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, and also takes some special orders.  All of her pieces are very reasonable--think Christmas presents, guys!  I'm partial to this one!  :)


I also think that these medical bracelets are pretty cool for the special needs mommas out there.  If your child needs to wear a medical alert explaining a severe allergy or condition, at least it can be pretty!  This is definitely a big step up from the ball chains that usually come with the medical bracelets.


Thank you so much, Elizabeth!  Abby and I are both loving our new accessories.  I'm pretty sure she will be wearing it to her birthday party!  :)

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
