The Fast and Furious--Labor Day Weekend

We took a flying trip to West Texas this weekend to see great grandparents, grandparents, and other various family members. I had some great pictures of Maddy visiting everyone and pediasure spilled on the camera on the way home. I think the camera is truly toast this time. Ugg! I hope I can get the pictures of my SD card still if I take it to Wal-Mart. If I can I will share those pics in a future post. I took the pics of our visit to the zoo on my camera on my phone. At least I still have that I guess. Maddy sure had a great time visiting and playing with all of her cousins. We got to Farwell at 2a.m. Saturday morning. Later that day, Brandon and Amanda, Mikali, Daniel,Rachel, Aunt Sherry, and later Uncle Weldon all came over to visit. Mikali and Daniel get cuter every time I see them and they are such good kids. They are a blessing to the Embry family. We had a pizza lunch with everyone and hung out and talked and watched the kids most of the day. On Sunday we went to Lubbock to see the other side of the family. It was good for Maddy to have some one on one time with great grandma and grandpa. That evening we went to David and Janet's house for a cookout with them Chrissy and Brian and kids, and Matt and Brittany, and Nat. Maddy played until she just about passed out. Janet had a box of dress up clothes and Maddy loved all the bead necklaces and bracelets. She did not want to wear any of them. She just wanted to line them all up or put them in cups, etc. She was so funny because she got so proud of herself when she got them lined up just how she wanted them. She had a great time playing with Cooper, Kendall, and Clayton too. Clayton loved feeding Maddy Cheetos. Way too cute.
On Monday it was time to go home (already!). We stopped in Abilene to see Ethan and Jenna and go to the zoo with them. Their house is looking so good. Jenna is a great interior decorator. I need her to come give me some tips. :) The zoo was fun but it was roasting outside. Maddy got so hot her arms even started turning red. She loved the animals though, especially all the birds.

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.
