You know we LOVE photo caption contests and we HATE photo caption contests. It is so hard to choose a "winner" when almost every caption submitted is funny, sweet, witty or endearing. It's so unfair to have to pick one.... maybe in the future we'll pick a dozen or so.
"Ahhh..... Heaven.... heaven is a Daddy with hair-yankable stickers
on his arm, thousands of people drawing closer to God
'cuz of little 'ole me, and a BIG BAG 'o crunch-munchy Fritos."

Remember the adorable little girl, Sophie, in the first video Abby was watching and said "is she sick too Daddy?" I didn't realize it until I clicked on the link, but the winning caption came from Sophie's mom. Pop on over and visit their blog. Sophie is ADORABLE!
Abby Update: Wonderful Day
From Michelle: A couple of days ago, Abby lost almost every hair on her head, most of her eyelashes and her eyebrows.
She looked up at me with big, brown, puppy dog eyes and asked if I could please make her hair look pretty. It broke my heart. Thanks again to everyone who took part in Operation Princess Hair because of you, I was able to get out her ponytail wig and make Abby feel beautiful again. Her smile when she was swishing her ponytail around was priceless.
Abby had a wonderful day. She finally got to ditch her IV and was free to run and play. She had so much fun running through the halls and talking to everyone. When her white blood cells are low, she has to stay in the room, only leaving for medical tests and procedures. Today her counts were high enough to be a "real" kid. Sami and Abby played games, flirted with babies and literally RAN down the hallway. Abby's muscles are still weak, but she is one determined young lady. I love her spirit.
Thanks again to everyone who has been praying and leaving comments and emails. It makes long days in the hospital so much more tolerable.
We are praying for good news tomorrow. We won't see her doctor until tomorrow evening, but we may get to go home tomorrow night! An amazing turnaround from this weekend when it didn't seem sure what the week would bring.

Nothing like tearing into a bag of yummy, yummy sugaaar!
I doubt this is correct, but my blog is really not noteworthy... I'm just dawdling and trying to find my way in it... Also praise that the deep valley you recently experienced took place over the weekend and not during the week.
Wonderful news! God is SO good!!! Abby, you are positively GORGEOUS, hair or no hair. I'm glad you had fun with your princess hair!
Hmm...looks to me like Landis is enjoying a little sugar rush from an icing packet???
Looks as if somebody got into the toaster streudle icing packs!! Yum! That is my favorite part too!
Yeah for Abby! Praying for this wonderful update!
Is Mr. Landis licking the middle of a sugar packet? ... Oh, kiddos. I thought only my kiddo was that desperate for sugar!
Looks like he's liking the icing bag left over from making cinnamon rolls from the can. I do it all the time! :)
Ummm, looks like Landis tearing into a bag of ready-to-use gingerbread icing? Reaching, I know...

No stinkin' WAY! I was so excited when I saw who the Caption Winner was, I jumped up and high-fived Sophie - who proceeded to look at me like I was nuts. But then, I'm kind of used to that look. =)
ABBY LOOKS SO AMAZING!!! I got all teary and throat-lumpy when I read about her great day and saw how happy and energized she looked in her pictures. Pinks cheeks and eye sparkle! Praise the Lord for such an incredible answer to prayer!
As for SpideyLandis...
Hmm. What IS that boy doing? Is that a string-cheese wrapper - turned inside-out, being blissfully licked? Probably not since it looks like he has Whip Cream on his fingers. ...Man, props to the person who figures THAT ONE out!
Praying without ceasing.
My vote is he is licking icing out of a pastry bag. Love the expression :)
I'm SO glad Abby had a great day! I was SO happy to hear that!!! I have been praying extra hard this week for our sweet girl!!
I'm the first to comment? That's crazy. Anyhow, I am so relieved and giving all of the Praise to God tonight that Abby is doing so well. I had to check the date to make sure i was reading this right. up and trying to run, how stinking great is that!!!!
It looks like the royal icing packet from a gingerbead house kit to me! We did them with our kids!
No, No Daddy - I did NOT sneak the frosting!!. This, it's just, I'm sorry Daddy - but I like it.
Is he eating the icing from a Toaster Strudel? or some other pastry?
Looks like he is eating the icing packet that comes with apple turnovers, sticky buns, etc.
Wonderful news about Abby today. My daughter and I pray every night for her and I send up additional prayers after reading your updates. I love to read your posts and see how you (both Brent and Michelle) remain so faithful and positive throughout all of this. What an amazing testimony to God's love and grace for his children. Plus, you guys and your photos are funny!
Is Landis licking out the icing package from cinnamon rolls? I say that because it's something I would find my two-year-old doing. Anyway, if I happen to be right, just pass the blog link on to the next person. That's my best guess.
God bless!
Whatever it is he is doing, it is precious.
Praise the lord with Abby's good news today. She is such a doll.
Praying for good news tommorrow! Sweet dreams Abby :0)
Praise God! We are so happy to hear Abby was RUNNING through the halls and being a kid!
And that Fritos picture is awesome..the simple pelasures in life. We should all stop and enjoy them..even licking icing from a plastic package! :)

GOD is Good !!!!!!!!!!!!!
We Pray for continuous comfort, strength, rest and healing.

AHHHH WOOOO...I feel like I can breath again too...knowing Sweetie Pie Abby is feeling some better. Love the NAIL pics as I painted Kya and My nails and toes last night. Kya is missing Abby and Sami a lot...Hugs
I'm so glad to see that Abby is doing much better!! The picture says it all!
Okay, everyone else sees an icing packet. I see a slice of swiss cheese...you know the processed slices that come between 2 pieces of plastic? Maybe because I would NEVER feed an icing packet to my kid, or processed cheese for that matter. Ha! Right.
PRAISE BE TO GOD!
WOW! Great news and thanking Him for Abby's LIFE!!!!!!!!!!
Trusting God for more good news for all of you today!
Love,
Jill

Is Landis licking the plastic cover of a yogurt?
So glad to see Abby smiling and happy!
It looks like Landis is eating the icing from a package of place and bake decorative cookies-I have one of my niece doing the same thing with a red package of icing from heart shaped cookies!
