Lego Land


On our second day in Florida, we ate a delicious breakfast at Give Kids the World's dining hall.  They had kid-sized silver dollar waffles with all of the toppings you could want, and super good cinnamon rolls...Caleb helped himself to both!  After that, we headed out to Lego Land.  

We had been here once before a year and a half ago, but the kids still loved it.  We got there right when the park opened and stayed until it closed!  If you've never been to Lego Land, they have statues everywhere built with Legos.  It's pretty incredible!


Abby liked the Lego Friends area.  It was new since the last time we were here.

Fighting Darth Maul...

...but smiling with Darth Vader!



Caleb put one of his Minifigures on the horn :)

This Christmas tree was HUGE and made entirely of Legos!

Abby loved this Einstein model!  He was even the pressed penny she chose from Lego Land!


Abby got brave and rode a few roller coasters that she loved, and Caleb rode the Lego Chima water ride.  He got soaked like we knew he would, so he put a poncho on and rode it by himself!  He dried quickly in the heat though.  

Both kids especially loved Driving School, where they got to "drive" their own Lego car.  We rode it twice.  After riding along with both kids, I have to say that I think Abby might be the better driver of the two!  Caleb's sadistic laugh every time he jerked the car around made me a bit concerned for our future.  Thankfully, he has another 8 years before we will let him loose on the real road! 



They also really enjoyed Merlin's Ride, which whipped them around the corners,



Abby loved riding the horses that clip-clopped around the track,


and both are always ready for a carousel ride.  They do love their carousels!


One of the cool exhibits is Mini Land, which has HUGE displays of cities, historical monuments, etc., all built entirely out of Legos.  I'm pretty sure this is what Caleb wants to do when he grows up.  He would have stayed in here all day if we had let him!

This is the White House, with Santa's sleigh on the roof.

Uh oh!  Santa landed in a no-fly zone!  The secret servicemen have got 'em now!  (I love that the reindeer have their paws up!)

Oops!  This little guy isn't made of Legos!  He was quite comfy in the display though!


It was a fun day!  Merry Christmas from Lego Land!

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
