Party Recap

So how did the Hello Kitty party go?  Purrrrr-fectly!  (Sorry, I just couldn't resist!

A lot of people were out of town for the three day weekend, but we still had plenty there to help us celebrate Abby's day.

The kids colored,






played in a pool of packing peanuts (AKA: the kitty litter!),



(Why yes, it was a humongous mess and probably not my best idea ever!)

 
and had a great time digging in our bean bin.  I think that was the biggest hit!

All three of Abby's former nurses came to the party.  Abby has never seen all three of them at the same time, and she was totally confused!

We sang "Happy Birthday..."



...complete with the ugly cry from me.  It wouldn't be the birthday song without it!


Abby couldn't quite blow out the candle, so I helped!


This year, we had super-soft sugar cookies with frosting piled up in a cake-like pile, because Hello Kitty makes sugar cookies in every episode!  My hope was that Abby might eat a little of it.


She did!  She LOVED the cookie!


Caleb bought Abby a present with his own money, and even wrapped it himself.  He was so proud.


He got her a book titled, Happy Birthday, Princess!  It's an I Can Read book that he can read to her, so he was even more thrilled with his choice.


The highlight of the day for Abby was getting her new Bitty Twin, Joy.  This was her first glimpse!


Joy even has glasses just like Abby!


I had a photo booth all set up, but I forgot about it a midst all the chaos until the end of the party!  I did get a few people's pictures.



It was a great day!



Pictures of food, decorations, etc. to follow!

Once can't read through this and see the pictures and not cry, i.e., cry tears of total happiness and wonderment. What a truly joyous celebration - God is good.

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
