Chocolate Chip Art

Since I've been up to my elbows in chocolate making truffles for family and friends, I thought this post was appropriate. A couple of nights ago I gave Caleb some chocolate chips for dessert. He scrunched them all together and exclaimed, "Look, mommy, I made a tree!" I walked over and this is what I saw.

He then continued to make different things out of the chocolate chips. This was a duck...

this was a horse, but I had to capture him in action because he kept eating the head.

He was quite proud of himself with this one, exclaiming, "I MADE A LLLLL!"

After he was quiet for a little while, I asked, "What did you make now?" He answered with glee, "I made DOTS!"

Thankyou for the beautiful Christmas card! Andy and I were total slackers this year and skipped out on cards. I know, blogger comments are a poor substitute but Merry Chrismas!; December 24, 2008 at 10:42 AM

The latest "Calebism"

12/17/11

Last weekend we were at the MDA Holiday party. He opened up the gift they gave him and it was a set of toy cars. He exclaimed, "Hot Wheels! They're so awesome 'cuz their wheels are so HOT!!!"

I can't believe I forgot to put this one on here!!! A couple of months ago we ended up in the ER with Caleb - he had the flu and just had a rough night. While we were there he saw a nurse pass by in the hallway. He stopped mid-sentence and said, "Whoa. She is so beau-tee-ful. I think I want to add her to my collection."

What is Ullrich Congenital Muscular Dystrophy?

In June of 2007 Caleb was diagnosed with Ullrich Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (UCMD). This is an extremely rare form of Muscular Dystrophy - to date there are only a few hundred documented cases worldwide. It is considered a slowly progressive and life-limiting form of MD.

This does not mean that hope is lost. There is new research being done for this disease, as well as many other neuromuscular disorders. In the last 4 years, Caleb's Crew has raised over $65,000 for the MDA and designated all funds to go towards research for UCMD.

Please click on the links below to find out more detailed information regarding UCMD, as well as to support the MDA and Cure CMD, two wonderful organizations.

Thank you,
