Maddy loves prunes!


Gross, right! Nevertheless, she does. She takes after her dad I guess. I think I told the story on here about how Aaron asked for prunes for father's day. What? Anyway, Maddy has had some constipation from the antibiotics (I'm pretty sure this is the cause anyway) that she's on for her ear infection. It was so bad that I called the doctor about it last week. If she doesn't start doing better soon I'm going to take her in I think. Meanwhile we've tried several things: apple juice, which she does not like; prunes, which she loves as you can see; kyro syrup in her formula; and yes...even enemas. It is very sad. She finishes her round of antibiotics on Friday so I hope once that is done this problem will be gone as well. She is doing great otherwise though. Her ears seem like they've stopped draining so hopefully we're on our way to healthy ears. Prunes for lunch anyone?

For some reason this thought just popped into my head. When we were kids we had a president memory game but it also had Harriet Tubman and a few other people who weren't presidents in it. We called HT "Prune Face" because she was so wrinkled. I guess now Maddy is prune face, but for a different reason. :)

Prunes are great! Chewy fruity goodness. Me, Aaron and Maddy will start a prune fan club blog!

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...

Geneticist

We went to see the genetic counselor this morning at 10. What we found out was hopeful for now, although we'll have to continue watching to see how thing develop. She said from what the doctors had communicated to her and from the initial results of the fish test (test for the chromosomal defects) and because I have been feeling the baby move every day, right now she thinks the baby may have a condition called Amyoplasia Congenita. This is a condition where the baby develops normally except for the hands and feet which can be corrected through orthopedic treatment, at least to some extent. People with this condition can live normal lives. This is obviously the best news we've had all week and much better than where we were a week ago. However, this isn't a diagnosis. We still need to watch the baby's development and also get the complete results from the chromosomal testing. BUT we are so thankful that today we have good news and something to hope for. For those (like m...

Animal Happenings

 It looks like the last update I posted on animals was about going to the sale barn and getting cows. As a reminder we got a calf/cow pair and a "weaned" calf: Chloe, Midnight, and Mooey. Chloe and midnight are some kind of black angus mix and midnight is part Holstein. Midnight and Mooey will eventually be our meat cows. We hope to AI Chloe sometime in the near future for another calf. Midnight, her calf pictured below (much littler in the pic than he is now) is a very good looking steer. He could go to the fair if he wanted. This is a picture of him getting out of his fence and coming in the yard. He still gets out from time to time. Having a mama calf keeps both the steers in line though. They are much better about not getting crazy, unlike some other steers we could name from the past, but won't. We ended up having to feed quite a bit of hay this winter as we had snow cover from November to end of March. We got our barn built about January and began collecting more ...
