Easter and Maddy's birthday

Well, Aaron bought me a computer so maybe I will start blogging more. That was a very difficult activity to do on my phone. The month of March had lots of birthdays and fun. The Bavors came to visit us on their spring break. We went to the Grapevine aquarium, Rainforest Cafe, and Great Wolf Lodge. The kids had so much fun.

We did a big birthday party for Maddy this year. She wanted to invite lots of school friends. She chose to have her party at Jump Mania. The kids got high on sugar and jumped for hours.

Granna and Grandad, Tammy, Rachel, Dr. Rachel, Cindy and kids, and the Bavors were there in addition to some of her school friends. Aaron got her the Rainbow Dash dress. I think it was probably her favorite gift. She wears it every time it's clean.
Can't believe I have a seven year old! Shortly after her birthday she lost her second tooth so she is kind of gap toothed right now. The dentist said her top teeth are loose as well.

I had so much fun. I was so glad we decided to come and that it worked out. I can't believe she is 7 either. Seems just yesterday I came down to see my first grandchild. What a blessing this girl is to us all!!!

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.
