Slightly Under the Weather...

Last night, I started wondering if I was coming down with a cold. I drank some tea and decided not to set my alarm for my usual 6:45 so that I could sleep it off. I slept in a little but definitely felt yucky when I woke up. It's nothing major, but the sore throat, achiness, and slight cough is enough to keep me away from Abby for the better part of the day. I am going to stick around here, drink tea, take my vitamins (I take prenatals all of the time, along with DHA, vitamin D, calcium, and vitamin C!), write some thank you cards, and maybe catch a nap. I will meet Matt over at the hospital later on today, but won't go in without a mask. Better safe than sorry when it comes to my girl! Let's hope that this is a one day thing and not my typical asthmatic bronchitis-turned-pnemonia that I usually get around this time of year!

Praying for you Julie to be well soon! So sorry to hear you are not feeling good--we need you well-or rather your family needs you well!!:) It is going around big time- it's just this time of the year. Try and get some extra rest when able to give your body that extra boost it needs. You and your family are forever in my thoughts and prayers, and also want to tell you how wonderful your writing skills are. Love your posts-Sandy Murphy

I hope you did not catch it from me. I have tried hard to keep you and Abby far enough away. Hope you feel better.

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

The Potty Man

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

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
