A Day at the Farm

Recently, Abby's preschool took a trip to a local farm to learn about the animals and pick a pumpkin.  (If you are keeping a grand total of pumpkin-picking, we're up to 6 pumpkins.)  Sadly, they didn't decide on a date until the last minute and I was already leading a staff development on the day that was chosen, so I wasn't able to go.  

Thankfully, Matt is off on Mondays and enjoyed a little Daddy-Daughter time.


Plus, anywhere with Anna is fun!

Matt was my photographer, so I have no idea what this is.  A dog?  A goat?  A gigantic rat?  Who knows, but she's petting it! 


Kids enjoyed time in the corn pit!


Everybody checking out the animals!


I have more pictures, but I'm very careful not to post pictures of non-family members without permission, so I've limited it to the ones that don't show faces.  But I think you get the idea.  Abby loves going to the farm, no matter where it is!

"(If you are keeping a grand total of pumpkin-picking, we're up to 6 pumpkins.)". Crack. Me. Up!! ;-D
Daddy-Daughter time!! Loving it. Loving it!! ;)
My guess of the mystery animal that Abby is petting? Based on "his" soft-looking fur coat and floppy ears, I would say it's a dog!! I could even tell you "his" breed!! Provided that I can remember what it is.... Curse my premature short-term memory loss!! ;-/
A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel!! I knew that!! Thank-you, My 4 kids!! ;-D

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
