Back to school

 Our back to school started out with a crunch....maybe it was a crack....
On the last Friday before school Kelsay climbed up in the new double jogging stroller I had just put together, somehow pushed it over and busted her face. There was lots of blood, I didn't see the accident as I'd gone into the kitchen to get breakfast for the kids, and we thought her teeth were broken. Turns out she just pushed some of them up into her gums. After lits of exams, x-rays, and 4 hours in the Er with none of us having had anything to eat or drink that morning, they told us nothing was fractured or broken, the teeth should return to normal position in about 6 weeks and to make a follow up dentist appointment and watch for teeth turning black. In the above picture she is crying because she did not want to wear the hospital gown and because I was trying to take a picture of her in the hospital gown.

 On Saturday we went for frozen yogurt for a before back to school treat.
 First day of school. Maddy was so excited to go back. She loves her teacher and has made lots of new friends in kindergarten and first grade. We talked before school started about how she needed to help the new kids in her class feel welcome. She has done such a good job of that in these first two weeks. I'm really proud of her.
 This past Friday we went to meet the teacher at Kelsay's mother's day out. She is going one day a week this year.
 Both girls ready for school.
 Kelsay had a good day at her program. They said she liked reading books and eating her lunch. Ha ha.
I leave you with a picture of an 18 month old who has her own distinct ideas about fashion.

Oh my goodness! What drama! I'm so glad she's alright. I bet that scared you to death. Adorable pictures. How wonderful that Maddy is loving school and making others feel welcome. I kinda want to go to school with her just to be a part of it. Loved the pic you sent- thank you!

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.
