Fabulous News!

I know I've been really quiet on here recently.  But my "free" time has been filled with JOY bags!!!  I am happy to tell you that we have had 132 bags sponsored!  This project has just taken off.  We started out just praying that we would get 50 bags, and we met that goal in TWO hours!  After buying more of the 31 Bags Drawstring Bags multiple times, we finally settled at 132 (we bought 30 more and got 2 free, which is how we got to 132!)

Cathy and I have been busy buying the bags, as well as LOTS of toys to fill those bags!  Each bag will be filled with fun stuff like play dough, several books, bubbles, a dry erase board, twistable Crayola crayons, a coloring book, a cuddly stuffed toy, and much more!  We are also including a sponsor card so that the recipient will know who lovingly sponsored their bag.

Our plan is to deliver some of the bags when we go to CHOP in May.  Then we will give the orthopedics department some bags to keep on hand and give out as they see VEPTR patients.  They will let me know when they begin to run low and we will bring more!

THANK YOU to all of you who sponsored a bag (or more!)  We were blown away by the faithfulness of God as we began this project.  It has been so fun!

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 ...

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 m...
