unfinished projects and picture catch up

 Not done. Working on it. Started but haven't finished. Almost done but not quite. At some point in the future I will.... This kind of describes my life right now. We got a little dresser from the store to put our out of date...er, I mean vintage eclectic...TV on. At some point I will paint the dresser. It came with the cute old timey mirror. I like having it because I was able to move some of the kids's toys like puzzles and paper dolls into the drawers instead of having them on an open shelf in the playroom.

 We had Aaron's cell bio class over for dinner. Maddy directed a puppet making craft for them. Completely her own idea. She came up with the craft, gathered the supplies and gave the instructions.
 A flowerbed we're building. I got the rest of the dirt chopped up and the first row of bricks set but that is all the progress since this picture. Rain and allergies brought this project to a grinding halt. The wood box will be torn down.

 Working in the garden makes you hot and thirsty.



 Garden is doing great. I see little green tomatoes coming on the plants and I think we'll have some lettuce soon.

 Maddy recited Peas Porridge for her school program. We went to Nacogdoches middle of April to see the Crosses new place. Jessica came too. The following pics are from our trip to the azelea gardens at SFA. Fun times!


 Cooper for the photo bomb!

 Biggest Iris bloom I've ever seen.

Great update! Kelsay is hilarious with that water spigot. I love that Maddy came up with the paper bag craft and instituted it. I'm so glad y'all got to go to Nac. What a blast! I feel like I'm a large step behind you because instead of- going to finish- it's more like- going to start. ha!

Boy do these girls look like they are having fun at the water faucet. I remember doing the same as a kid. Nothing better than drinking water from a hose or faucet. I agree with Aaron. You have some great pics!!!

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.
