Wedding Recap

By
Abby and Caleb were in a wedding recently, and our crazy week last week prevented me from being able to post anything about it!  

They both "performed" perfectly, and Caleb took his duties as the ring bearer very seriously.  He didn't get to carry the rings, but perhaps if he had, they wouldn't have been left in the best man's car!!!!  (True, and hysterically funny, story!)  I don't think anyone is ever going to forget that wedding!

In all seriousness, it was a beautiful, God-honoring wedding and I think everyone had a lot of fun.  The kids loved the dancing and Abby cried whenever I took her off the dance floor.  :)

This is Abby with her co-flower girl, who was adorable!  The two of them became fast friends!



The other flower girl's mom caught this one, and I absolutely love her smile!  With their backs to us are Caleb and his co-ring bearer.  He was quite enamored with Abby, and I think she may have had a little crush on him as well!


The beautiful bride and handsome groom with all the kids...at least one is smiling!


Just a phone picture of my cute kiddos with their "sister."  :) 



I have a couple of videos I took on my phone as well, but I can't seem to upload them here.  I'll work on it and try to upload them on another post.

Besides loving watching one of my favorite women get married, I had two favorite parts of the night as a momma:  1).  Watching Abby and Caleb walk in together after they were announced as part of the bridal party.  I never would have thought that would have happened if you had asked me 8 months ago!  Caleb was SO good about leading Abby.  He is the perfect big brother!  2).  The daddy-daughter dance to "My Wish."  They invited all of the daddies and daughters to dance, and Matt took Abby.  The song was perfect, and I about bawled my eyes out.  Ok, I'm crying just thinking about it.

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
