Adaptive Ballet Recital and VBS

 So we had VBS with the Halls at The Hills (ha ha) and Maddy's adaptive dance recital this week, plus Aaron was in San Francisco Monday and Tuesday. So, basically, last Sunday feels like it was a year ago. It is currently 6:56 and I'm wondering how early I can get my kids to go to bed...like maybe in the next 4 minutes? Probably not, but I am tired. It was a great week but very busy. Maddy is also continuing to do golf on Tuesdays so s we had that, a dentist appointment and our usual therapy this week as well. We had dance on Tuesday and Friday to prepare for the recital and then the recital was on Saturday and VBS was W-F in the evenings. VBS did Paul this year. The kids loved it. Kelsay got to go to a class for the first time this year and she really enjoyed it.
 For her recital, Maddy did the Merliton from The Nutcracker. She said the dance is about people from France coming to give Clara presents. The presents are cakes I think. She did such a good job.















 Two other girls performed in the recital as well. It was such a neat recital to be a part of.

 We celebrated being done with the week with dip cones, popsicles, blizzards and ice tea at DQ. I just mispelled popsicles and mispelled but I am too tired to care. Until I update about next week adventures, audios!

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 the

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

One Year Ago Today

One year ago today we found out we were having a little girl. One year ago today, the OB called us into his office and told us that Maddy was not going to survive. One year ago today God heard the prayers of many friends and family and he started working a miracle. One year ago today I thought I would never see my precious little girl alive. One year ago today I was so shocked I didn't and couldn't feel anything but disbelief. One year ago today, God started planning that today a little girl named Madeline Mae Fletcher would be by my side as I write this, talking and playing with her stuffed cow that Aunt Tammy gave her. One year ago today God set out to prove that he is faithful and he hears his people's prayers and that he still does miracles. Today is bittersweet because one year ago today our dreams and plans we had for our new life with our baby girl were destroyed. But one year ago today God started making a new plan to give us a different dream and a different plan.
