Sir Richard

 So busy doesn't even describe the past few weeks. I will just post about the house for now and then do surgery and family visits and leaf viewing and all that stuff later. We closed on our property in Divide on Sept. 2. I wish I had before pictures but we just tore right into the place before I thought of it. All you need to know is carpet in the master bath and the strong odor of cat pee through the entire house. Believe I've already mentioned this several times.
 We ripped out all flooring. Then we kilzed and primered the floors and walls. We did about 3-4 coats of kilz on the floor as we kept thinking we still smelled some odors, especially in the bedrooms and laundry area. We primered the walls and then painted the living areas and bedrooms Navajo White and the bathrooms plain white. We ripped out the master bath shower and are redoing the panelling on the tub. (Don't ask. Pictures later.)


 We then had carpet and linoleum installed. We spent one night in our house and the took off for Dallas for surgery.



 We had to buy a fridge. Got one from the scratch and dent. The fridge and shower both did not fit. Created a lot of work to get them in. Thankfully we have family on both sides who are very handy.
I am now completely unpacked. I will have to take pics of the house but it is cute. So thankful for a great place to live while waiting for our house to get built! More on that soon too.
My dad put up a shed while we were in Dallas for storage. We now need to repair the deck, finish the tub and shower and put in some kind of  fenced yard so we can get our animals back. Driveway grating and repair also probably needs to happen before snow flies. So the busy season continues.

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.
