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...

We Need Your Prayers

Many of you have probably heard all ready, but Aaron and I got some devastating news today. Our baby will probably not survive outside the womb. They did an amneostasis this afternoon to test for chromasomal defects, which is what they think it is right now. I know I am spelling everything wrong so I hope what I write makes enough sense for everyone to understand what is going on. The specialist we went to see feels that it is triploidy or triamias 18. Those may not be the right names but they are two of the three chromasomal defects. The other is down's syndrome. He did not feel that it was down's. The other two defects are fatal so if we carry the baby to term it will not live but for a few days or hours if one of the defects above is the problem. We will know in 2days. If it is not one of those then we will have to go to a cardiologist and a genetic counselor. The baby had clubbed hands and feel and it's heart is not formed correctly and is not in the right place. Becau...

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...
