First Haircut and Yummy BBQ

Cute dress Maddy wore to church today. It was rainy today and although not really cold, we built a fire anyway.
In this pic you can see how close Maddy's top teeth are to coming in. Come one teeth! I think we are all ready for you to just get here already.
Maddy is a little pyro. She loved just staring at the fire.
This is a picture of Maddy right after I trimmed her hair for the first time on Saturday. I just trimmed the front part because it kept falling in her eyes so bad and it was really starting to bug her a lot. So her first haircut isn't that dramatic but it just made her look older to me for some reason. Cute outfit courtesy of Aunt Tammy.
The weather this weekend was absolutely gorgeous. I am still sick from some sinus something that I got right after I ran the cowtown. I am so tired of being sick but I did get to enjoy the weekend by being outside some and I cleaned all the flowerbeds and got them ready to plant some beautiful spring flowers. Can't wait to do that. We have a tree growing in the front flowerbed by the house. I don't know where it came from. We took some leaves off of it and walked all around the neighborhood trying to figure out what kind of tree it is and we couldn't find anything remotely close. We want to transplant it into the yard. We've been wanting to get a tree or two for future shade because for some reason our house has no trees even though all the other houses around here have really nice big and shady ones.
Saturday night we went to eat BBQ at this place in Euless called North Main BBQ. It has "world famous" ribs and was featured on the food network. It was $12 for all you could eat. That included all the meats and sides plus sweet tea. It was so good. I ate way too much. After we ate we went to la Madeleine's for coffee and tea. The original plan was to get dessert there but after the all you can eat BBQ and the free ice cream most indulged in at the BBQ place no one was really hungry for dessert. It was so great to have a parent's night out and get to visit with friends. Rachel babysat Maddy and things went pretty well it seemed. Maddy can be a real grump in the evenings sometimes so I was glad she didn't have a super grump episode while we were gone.
This week is spring break at DBU. I have a paper due the Wednesday after spring break that I've yet to write one syllable of, so while I won't be sitting back and relaxing the entire time, I will enjoy the slower pace and Aaron being home every night.

Bummer. Sorry you're still sick. I am so excited to get outside and do yardwork. Invigorates me. Good luck with the paper. I showed Nat the storyboards you did- both he and Matt were mega impressed!

Maddy's haircut looks good. I do think that babies always look older after a hair trim. She is super cute as always. What is a storyboard?

Well Mom, I didn't really mention this to anyone, but I did the storyboards for the short film "Priscilla" that Brittany is making. You draw each camera shot so that the director and film crew can see how each is supposed to look. I wanted and art project and Brittany graciously let me participate.

Is there anyway I can see this? I am really curious now. Sounds like you did a good job!

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.
