West Texas Weekend






This past weekend my very sweet husband did without me and Maddy for four days so we could go spend time with great grandparents in West Texas. When I first planned the trip I didn't realize that my parents would be at my Mema and Papa's house at the same time as us so that was an added bonus. My cousin's kids came over on Friday and Maddy wanted to see everything they were doing. She had a snack with them and sat at the table while they colored pictures. I was hoping it would be nice, but as you can see from the pictures, the first day of spring was cold, snowy, and super windy. Mema and Mom made me a nice b-day cake. I actually haven't had cake for my birthday in several years so it was a nice treat.
The only bad thing about the trip was that my Grandma in Lubbock went into the hospital while we were out there. She had some complications from the surgery she had a couple of weeks ago. She is doing better but they may have to remove her gallbladder now. They are doing tests this afternoon to find out about that so keep her in your prayers.
When I got home Aaron had done a TON of work around the house. He washed the dogs and trimmed them all up and shampooed all the carpets. He got a light for his fish tank finally. He has supposed to have gotten one for a b-day gift for several years now and has never picked one out. He cleaned the fish tank and got some more fish and it looks really nice. He also go the tire on the Isuzu fixed. It was all very nice to come home to.
On Thursday my parents are flying in for a visit and we are having a birthday party for Maddy on Saturday. Looking forward to another great weekend!
Tomorrow Maddy gets new hand splints. We are excited about that. She has outgrown the ones she had and the ones she's getting are supposed to make it easier to support her weight on her hands and arms. Hopefully she will be good tomorrow while they are making them.

Excited to see you, Maddy and Aaron on Saturday. Can't believe it's already been a year.

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.
