I Miss My Blog

Image
By
I've been using Caring Bridge to update people about Abby's progress since I was hospitalized in September.  Now, CB does have its positives--people can be notified when new posts are up, tichere's a separate guestbook for comments, and it is specifically about her diagnosis.  However, my love for CB is not nearly as deep as my love for Blogger.  I miss the freedom I have here to post pictures and such.  For some reason, CB's picture size limit is extremely small...making it difficult to post pictures!

Soooooo, here are a bunch of new pictures that I have not been able to post on CB!  Enjoy parusing through a stack of pictures of the cutest two kids in the world!!

Caleb carved a pumpkin at RMH.

Waiting for Ronald McDonald to come to the house!

Abby joy, all clean after her first trach change!

Photo shoot with the pretty quilt Grammy made her (note the coordinating purple bow!)

I think she likes it!

Caleb has a similar shirt!  This onesie is huge on her and she probably won't be able to wear it because of the trach, but the idea is very cute!

My girl is learning to love the pacifier!

Proud Daddy with his girl

Her hair gets really curly after you wash it!

Checking out her Momma!


Hi Ronald McDonald!

Caleb LOVED him!!!


We've missed our sweet boy!

Caleb is going to be so bored after we go home...the entertainment will all be gone!

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

The Potty Man

By
Caleb LOVES to go potty! I have never heard a potty training story like this one....Caleb tells us when he needs to go, we take his diaper off, and he goes! Now, is it perfect? No, not at all! We aren't trying to potty train at at all, but we figure every time he goes is one less diaper we have to change! The only time we consistantly put him on the potty is when we give him a bath (he always pees in the tub, so we know he needs to go!) He almost always goes on the potty now instead of the tub though. When he's not "really" going potty, he's pretending to go potty! He's such a funny kid!

Lego Party: Favors

By
I'm a little slow in posting the Lego Party pictures, but I think I have a few excuses I could use.  At any rate, I wanted to share what I did for the party!  It will take a few posts, so stay with me.  I'll start with how I did the favors. These are the goody bags I made.  I just bought solid colored gift bags and matched scrapbook paper to each bag.  Then I punched circles and attached them with the 3D foam tape so that the circles were raised. I used the keychain (explained below) as a name tag on the outside. These are Duplo blocks.  I put a round magnet on the back and...voila!  A magnet!  (note:  hot glue doesn't work so well...I ended up reglueing them with my apoxy because the magnets fell off.) I made crayons using Lego man crayons.  Yes, I know this guy has lost half of his leg.  The others were already packaged and I didn't want to open one up just to get a picture.  I used a Lego mold  to make the crayons.  Caleb put small pieces of crayon in each m
