Perot Museum


Maddy had President's day off from school, so we went to the Perot with the Halls. The Perot has a special Sherlock Holmes exhibit running through May so we went to see it. I highly recommend going if you get the chance. It is an interactive exhibit set up like a mystery game. You visit all the stations and interact with clues and evidence to see if you can solve the mystery. Jude and Kelsay didn't care about it at all but Maddy and Bethany enjoyed collecting the stamps and other evidence in their notebooks. Unfortunately, since Cindy and I were trying to keep up with them, we missed part of the information about how the exhibit worked. So, when we got to the end, we did not solve the mystery. I'd love to go back sans kiddos and try it again. We also spent a lot of time in the children's museum section. It is like a tricked out indoor playground. There is a construction themed playground area, campground complete with critters you might find on a Texas camping trip, a farmer's market, vet clinic, river and art center. All the kids loved that part of the outing. We ate lunch at the museum cafe and it was fairly reasonable for that type of place. We were so impressed with the museum that we ended up getting a membership. They applied the cost of the tickets we had bought for the day's admission so it was a great deal. All regular exhibits are free and there a four floors so we will have lots to go see next time we go back.

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.
