RMH Photos

I have a few photos to share from two recent RMH events.  The first is when the youth group made 20 no-sew blankets for The Welcome Project to give to kids at RMH when they check in.  It is an awesome organization for the youth group to join up with, and they seemed to have a great time doing it!

Everybody is busy at work!


We did all "boy" blankets, since the staff said they often run out of the kind of blankets older boys might like and end up giving them girly patterns.


We even had a mom stay to help!  (She's also Caleb's Mom's Morning Out teacher, and he adores her!!)


This beautiful girl took all of the squares we cut out to make the corners of the blankets, and made two awesome pillows with them!  She attached a photo pocket in the front and put youth group photos in them, so now they are one-of-a-kind decorations for the youth room.  So creative!!

The group with their finished products

I was much more diligent at taking pictures at the blanket-making event.  I didn't even bring my camera to RMH when we made dinner because I was afraid something might happen to it.  These pictures are from my sister, and she (as were the rest of us!) was too busy to take many pictures.  But, at least you can get a glimpse of what we did!


We made a Mexican meal for dinner, so of course there were tacos!

We had a few young helpers come along, and they were SO good!  They really pitched in and did whatever needed to be done.

Afterwards, there were lots of dishes to wash, dry, and put away!

We had lots of cookies for dessert, and popcorn for a snack during the craft.

This is one of the awesome families (holding the baby of one of my friends!) from Kuwait.  They are going to be here for a year and have been to RMH a lot since their daughter was born.  They have the same surgeon as Abby.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures!  I know this was a lengthy post, but I have been meaning to post pictures and keep forgetting.

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
