My Birthday

 Whew! 38. That happened fast. Good thing I had such a great birthday celebration to counter-act feeling old as dirt. The day before my birthday we worked on our chicken run project and then my mom made an amazing birthday dinner of grilled chicken, veggie kabobs, salad and bread. My parents and Tam and Jeff got me ski googles for my bday. I hope I get to try them out before ski season ends.
 On my birthday we went to Costello Street Coffee House in Florissant. I got a breakfast burrito. Maddy got biscuits and gravy, Kelsay got a bagel and Aaron got a burrito. We also had blueberry pie, a cinnamon roll and a peanut butter cup. No one felt hungry for lunch that day. We then went to the fossil beds and did a short hike and the girls did the Jr. Ranger badges. I bought them a vest to put their badges on. They were very excited about that.


we went home and finished the chicken run. Then we had spaghetti for supper. The meal was prepared by Aaron and the girls. Later that night, it snowed so I was able to cross country ski Monday morning and that made it the all around perfect birthday.

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.
