Vitamins, Unscammed?, Kisses


Well, well, well. Have I mentioned that about a week ago Aaron ordered us some very expensive vitamins called Reliv? They are powdered vitamins that you have to mix in water or juice to drink. He also ordered some for Maddy. First of all, these vitamins are nasty in just plain water. I have been taking mine with oj. Although still not a symphony for the tastebuds, it does make the vitamin powder tolerable. Aaron got something for his joints that he mixes in with his as well and I guess that stuff is really disgusting. Maddy got vanilla and chocolate flavored powders. We mix a heaping baby spoon of it in a couple of her bottles every day. I really need to try hers one day and see how good or bad it is. The first day Aaron tried to mix the whole half scoop she was supposed to take in with her bottle and she completely rejected it. We have been mixing smaller amounts and putting it in her food and she really tolerates it well now which is amazing because it makes her formula gritty. We ended up getting these because some people we knew in York sell them and since Aaron thinks we are getting old, he decided we needed some good vitamins. Of course the people who sell these have all kinds of miracle stories about what these vitamins have done all sorts of aliments. Another thing I should mention is that these vitamins were formulated by a biochemist--another connection to get Aaron to buy them. The verdict is still out. I'll let you know if I start feeling and looking like Wonder Woman in the next few weeks.
A couple of other news items I wanted to mention--I got my money back from the magazine scam thing! I couldn't believe they actually sent my check back. So I guess this is one of the more reputable of the magazine scam organizations I've read about since my debacle with the door to door magazine saleswomen a couple of weeks ago. I was very relieved. VERY relieved.
The big news this week is that Maddy has learned how to give kisses. They are slobbery but they sure are sweet! Right now I am the only person she will give kisses too. I know that will change soon as it should, but I am enjoying being the privileged Mommy who is the only one who gets Maddy kisses right now.

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...

Geneticist

We went to see the genetic counselor this morning at 10. What we found out was hopeful for now, although we'll have to continue watching to see how thing develop. She said from what the doctors had communicated to her and from the initial results of the fish test (test for the chromosomal defects) and because I have been feeling the baby move every day, right now she thinks the baby may have a condition called Amyoplasia Congenita. This is a condition where the baby develops normally except for the hands and feet which can be corrected through orthopedic treatment, at least to some extent. People with this condition can live normal lives. This is obviously the best news we've had all week and much better than where we were a week ago. However, this isn't a diagnosis. We still need to watch the baby's development and also get the complete results from the chromosomal testing. BUT we are so thankful that today we have good news and something to hope for. For those (like m...

Animal Happenings

 It looks like the last update I posted on animals was about going to the sale barn and getting cows. As a reminder we got a calf/cow pair and a "weaned" calf: Chloe, Midnight, and Mooey. Chloe and midnight are some kind of black angus mix and midnight is part Holstein. Midnight and Mooey will eventually be our meat cows. We hope to AI Chloe sometime in the near future for another calf. Midnight, her calf pictured below (much littler in the pic than he is now) is a very good looking steer. He could go to the fair if he wanted. This is a picture of him getting out of his fence and coming in the yard. He still gets out from time to time. Having a mama calf keeps both the steers in line though. They are much better about not getting crazy, unlike some other steers we could name from the past, but won't. We ended up having to feed quite a bit of hay this winter as we had snow cover from November to end of March. We got our barn built about January and began collecting more ...
