Medieval Times

Caleb had a fantastic time at Medieval Times.  His love for knights has been rekindled with a vengeance!



Caleb got a new wooden sword as an early birthday present from Nina and Paw Paw.  He picked it out himself and is in absolute heaven!  



He got to hold a real (very expensive!!) sword and was mesmerized!


They had suits of armor for sale--and they were marked down!  Since they were only $4,000 each now, we bought two. :)




We were sitting in the green knight's section, and he did really well!  He didn't win, but he was a good rider and fighter.


All of the knights lined up in front of the king.


At the beginning of the show, all of the servers go out and march across the stage.  Our server was the second one in the yellow and green.


Whenever a knight won a game, he got flowers to throw to kids in the audience.  Caleb caught one of them and was sooooooo excited!


Pretty horse :)



It was definitely a great night making memories with Caleb.  Abby stayed with my parents because otherwise, she would have had to sit on my lap...and it was way too close quarters for all of that!  We'll go back in a few years when she's old enough to appreciate it (and can eat the food!)  In the meantime, it was a special time with our oldest!

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
