All Things Fall

Here are some things that have been going on the past few weeks. I love fall!

Lots of outside time! The weather has been perfect except for the last couple of days have been too hot.

Halloween! Maddy had a Noah's Ark party at school on Tues. On Wednesday we did trunk or treat at a church by our house and went trick or treating in the neighborhood a little bit. Maddy walked for everything and carried her pumpkin basket the whole time, even when it started getting weighed down with candy. When she got to tired to walk we called it quits on the trick or treating.

With the beloved pumpkin. She would not let this pumpkin out of her sight or possession all day.


"Chocolate!" Yeah, she knows the good candy when she sees it.

Today, we made bird feeders.


Our pepper plants have been producing like crazy. Thus, to quarts of pickled refrigerator peppers.

Our front porch decorated for Halloween. The pumpkins have "mad faces" per Maddy request.

I love it! Great porch! Maddy looks adorable in her costume. Though we don't have a really dramatic changing of the seasons here, I'm seeing some orange and yellow on the trees and it's beautiful!

What kind of peppers? They look good, but don't look familiar. Looks like Maddy has sure been having FUN!

I love fall too. Halloween is my favorite holiday, not for the scary stuff so much as just the fun costumes and candy. We've been doing trunk or treat instead of trick or treating the last couple of years because one of the churches in Clovis always has theirs on a Saturday night and the Mikali isn't up too late on a school night.

Love Maddy's butterfly costume!

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.
