Maddy on the Move

Squash by the end of the week?

Can't wait for this big boy to turn red and juicy!The jungle in our backyard that we like to call a garden.
Maddy with a few of her favorite things: dag, dog, and pool.

Miss Maddy and our garden have both taken off lately. Over the weekend Maddy learned to push herself up into a sitting position straight off the floor and I saw her attempt a 360 on her tummy last night. We have been playing in the pool almost every day and in some strange way I think that has really help her with her movement and strengthening her muscles. So I've really got to watch her now because she sits up and then scoots away. Needless to say we are all very excited and proud of her for making these steps in her motor skills.
The Memorial day weekend was great. We went down to Temple on Saturday and saw Stephen, Jennifer, and Abriella, along with others of the Joyner clan and met Colby for the first time. He is a cutie. Maddy really enjoyed playing with all the kids. Then Sunday and Monday were very relaxing days for us: church, hanging out in the kiddie pool, walks, grilling, eating too much. Rachel came over last night and it was good to catch up with her.
Aaron started the first day of his June summer biology class today. He said the first day went good. I am so glad I am not taking a class this summer that I can't even begin to convey how glad I am. Hope you all have a relaxing June full of pools, popsicles, and peaceful summer nights on the back porch.

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.
