Where to Start?

Maybe just a catch up with some quick pics:

 Fourth of July was beautiful. A bit warm and dry for the mountains which made for great camp out weather. We camped in "Maddy's campsite" on our property. We were under fire restrictions at the time so I made s'mores in the oven. The kids said they were the best s'mores they've ever had. Mom FTW!




 We had fun with flashlights, glow sticks, and story telling.









On the actual forth we cooked out and went to Memorial Park to watch the fireworks. Aaron and the kids went to Symphony Above the Clouds on the 5th. So we had lots of fun.
 The Bios Research Crew came out to visit and we had a lot of fun with them. We cooked out, explored Red Rocks which is basically a much less trafficked version of Garden of the Gods and 5 minutes from our house. We also went to the Cliff Dwellings in Manitou.















 It finally started raining in July. It rained EVERY day for several weeks. I think our total rainfall for July was close to 7 inches.

 Maddy got a haircut!  Big change for her. Super cute!

 We built fence and squeezed in some hiking and picnicking.

Great pics! I'm sensing new poses for both girls, hahahaha. Them in dresses in the dirt (and everywhere else) is hilarious. Maddy looks so different with her haircut! Way to go Maddy!

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...

Fall-The Best Season of All

 I love fall! I used to be a bigger fan of summer when we lived in Colorado but I have always liked fall and it has definitely risen to the top of my favorite season list since moving to Dallas. Fall means that I actually can go outside and enjoy being outside again. That is especially a relief after this summer. It is so great to be able to take Maddy on a walk in the middle of the day if I want to....and it's a great way to get her to take a nap without a big wrestling match. Fall also means the Texas State Fair, which means all the fried food you can eat, fun with family, and lots of fun animal shows to entertain the two kids--I mean the kid and the kid at heart when it comes to animals.. I usually spend some of the fall season missing the crisp air a beautiful changing colors in Colorado, but this year we actually got to go back to visit Aaron's family for fall break so we got to have a little taste of that as well. Here are some great pictures from our fair ...
