Chirstmas with Aaron's Family

Houdini and Eli and Gracie--3 of the 9 yes I said 9 dogs that were at Aaron's aunt's for new years eve. We also had 7 cats. All the cats are his aunts. They have 3 dogs. Then there were our 2 dogs, Aaron's mom's 2 dogs, and his sister's 2 dogs. Talk about a zoo! I like my animals but not mixed with a bunch of other people's animals. It was insane.

Marley--Aaron's sister's new puppy. She is a sweet girl. She is a pit/boxer mix. Very mellow. The pound told them she is 9 weeks but she is huge. I think she is closer to 12 wks.

Aaron hanging out with the puppy and loving it.

I didn't take as many pictures at Aaron's family's. There wasn't enough time! We stayed so busy running around seeing everyone. We were in Montrose, Olathe, and Grand Junction visiting. Aaron's Aunt Sherry made a huge meal on New Year's day. We got to see Aaron's best friend from college, Kevin, and his wife Holly and their new baby Lincoln. He was a cutie. We came back over the mountains to Colorado Springs yesterday to try and beat a storm that was coming in. Didn't want to be going over those passes while it was snowing. Aaron went this morning to see his grandparents in Deckers. I am here at my parents waiting for my sisters to show up. We'll leave early tomorrow morning to go to Dallas. :( Vacation has gone by too fast once again. We have a high risk dr's appt. on Tuesday so pray for that as always. Things have been going well but we still appreciate the prayers. Happy New Year to everyone!

Getaway to Ticks Bend....I Mean Beavers Bend State Park

Back in April, we decided we needed to do a short family getaway after the semester was over. The last time we'd been on vacation just to vacation (not going to see family in CO) was when we went to San Antonio when Maddy was 3 months old. We found Beavers Bend State Park close to Broken Bow, OK and decided to go there. We booked a cabin in the state park and eagerly awaited the day we could take off for our getaway. We left on Sunday afternoon and stayed through Tuesday afternoon. It was short, but so fun and relaxing. We had no computer and no cell phones while we were up there. We just got to enjoy being around each other and the beautiful scenery. We built a fire and roasted some marshmallows. Also popped some jiffy pop. Aaron had never done one of those before. This is a 100 year old cabin they had at the visitor center. I like the mud chinking ( I think that's what it's called). A couple named Comma and Mabel lived in the cabin when the CCC was building t...

Another Sonogram

We went to the high risk pregnancy doc today for another sonogram. This time he could see all four chambers of the heart, the pulmonary valve, etc. In his words it looked "dramatically better". He feels there is still some slight compression on the heart and that we need to continue watching it. As of now he cannot see anything that is causing it and the MRI did not see anything either. He also felt that the hands were okay. They are not clenched fists at least as he first thought, meaning that the fingers aren't overlapping each other. Her hands are still in fists and she won't open them but he said he has had other babies that have not opened their fist in the sonogram but the hands have been normal at birth, so we still have a lot of hope for those little hands. He was able to get a better look at the face today, no cleft palate, so that is a huge blessing. The feet are still concerning. They are definitely clubbed but she is also not moving them. She is moving her...

More Miss Maddy pics

Here are some more pictures of Maddy. I know everyone is eager for pictures. We got to put her first little outfit on last night. She got out of the incubator bed and into a regular bassinet so she can now wear clothes and have her own blankies and stuff. It is great.
