This That and the Other and I am obviously procrastinating by writting this blog

Due to the extreme dullness of my mind after one week of school (yikes!) I may have related this story on my blog before but I will tell it again because it cracks me up. Aaron's grandparents raise their own cows for meet and they always name them so when you go to eat with them you usually find out that you are eating Hank, Red, Shorty, etc. One year they had two steers and a milk cow. Aaron's grandma hated the milk cow so when it came time to butcher the cows they ate This, That, and The Udder for the next year..yuk, yuk yuk!
Anyway, not much going on here. Just getting back into a routine and starting school. I have never had this much reading for school because I've never taken two English classes at the same time. What was I thinking? Oh yeah, that I wanted to be done with it! I am scheduled to graduate December 17th so if I can pull myself together and survive through the semester it will all be over.
Last night Tam and I planted our fall crop of tomatoes, cukes, and zucchini in the dark. I've never planted a garden in the dark before but we did okay. The only problem was that the ground was rock hard so it was really hard to get all the holes dug. Also, Tammy got bit by ants or something. Hopefully it will all be worth it when we get a fall crop of these yummy vegetables!


Here's a parting shot of Maddy. She is looking at picture of her Dad that she has in her room. She loves looking at his picture while he is at work. Soooo sweet!

Maddy does love her Dada. I wish we could plant another crop of veggies. I didn't get enough out of the ONLY crop we have/had this yr. Funny names for cows.

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.
