Hello Kitty Party

A lot of the decorations were bought at Walmart, where they have an awesome selection of Hello Kitty party supplies!

The tooth picks were originally for cupcake toppers, but I decided to do the cookie cake instead. They worked just fine for veggies, fruit, and cheese!

We had raspberry lemonade in pink cups with umbrellas and straws--very girly! I also had bottles of water and Capri Sun Roaring Waters.

This is the Hello Kitty cake, because Kitty makes sugar cookies on every episode. It was a big, yummy hit--and SO easy!!

The lollipop arrangement was popular too. Some snuck a few without their parents looking!

A few more sweet treats

We had Hello Kitty goody bags too! (Caleb had me make superhero bags for the boys, who he did not feel would appreciate such girly favors.)

As far as activities, we had a bean bin, "Kitty Litter" (packing peanuts in a baby pool), Lego Duplos, coloring, and necklace making.

We also had a time for the kids to decorate and fill bags for the kids at the Ronald McDonald House. While it ended up being a little more involved than I originally planned, it got done and the bags look great! The kids at RMH will love it.

I literally JUST realized that I did not bring these HK lanterns, which I painstakingly made. Grr. I will definitely have to figure something out for them.

I think that's about all of the party activities and decorations!

That is incredible! Great job! I have zero creativity, so I'm always in awe with what others do! Your kiddos are very lucky indeed :-)

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 ...

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 m...
