New Splints and Weekend with Tammy

Our weekend started out with Maddy getting new splints on Friday at Scottish Rite. They took the molds for them last week and then we picked them up this week. She was having some problems with the knee immobilizers rubbing her skin. These seem to be helping a lot with getting the reds spots cleared up. They make her look so tall. Aaron and I were just in shock over how long she looks when she has these on.
Maddy got this duck from Dr. Griffith for Easter. It quacks. At first she was scared of it. When it would start quacking she'd push in away from her as fast and far as she could but now she likes him and gets a huge smile when he quacks at her.
Jessica bought this cute shirt for Maddy last summer. It could have been a dress on her at that time but now it fits great and looks so cute.
Tammy flew in on Saturday. We picked her up from the airport and went to the Ft. Worth Arts Festival. We also walked through this really cool fountain area they have down there. This fountain you can walk down inside of it on these stepping stone things.
Maddy loves water and she enjoyed the spray from the fountain and putting her hand in the water.
This is another fountain and my favorite one. It is so pretty and peaceful.

Tammy and Maddy at the arts festival. It wasn't as fun as I'd hoped because they were having some tryouts for Big Brother that day at the festival and it was super crowded. We saw some very interesting people there. Some of the booths had really neat stuff and some were strange, even disturbing. We stopped at Jamba Juice down there and got some drinks. Yum! Just what we needed after walking around on a warm afternoon.

Looks so fun! Great that Tammy could come down. I'm loving being outside. We're going camping this weekend!

good pics... Zach and I had fun at the arts fest... my friend Amanda was one of the emerging artists right next to Jamba Juice. Definitely a great place for people watching.

Great pics. I love that shirt from Jessica and the pic of her on the bed. She seems to be saying, "hey, look at me. Aren't I cute!" How are these splints different. They look like they may hold her hips out a bit wider. She is GROWING!

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 the

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.
