HI - Well the best news that the Doctor gave me last week was that I could start visiting and playing with my kids again. Man that was torture not being able to love on my animals. Especially since I had babies out there!! But I have been trying to go out and make up for lost time, the heat and humidity isn't making it easy, but for a few minutes at a time I can enjoy them. ;0)
Chloe is the smallest little baby... she was born just a couple of days after my accident - so she is just under a month old. And Gorgeous!!! Now she isn't quite as friendly as I would like, missing her first few weeks she is very independent and cautious.. but she is starting to warm up and is thinking about letting me love all over her.
Now Lucy... this is my girl. She missed me - - I know she did really! I go out now and she runs over to me and climbs all over me. She doesn't know she isn't still a baby - born in February. She has made friends with her 1/2 sister Chloe. I am hoping that some of her friendliness will wear off onto Chloe.
Lydia is getting so big, and this girl is super loving. Just like her Mom Lacey - Her and her 1/2 brother really do have a great time together, You should see them lap the pen in the evenings, for a while She chases him.. and then they turn and he chases her... and look how big he is getting....
He is so darn adorable and just over a month old. Wish he didn't have that one pink eye, but that is just something that comes with white coloring on donkeys... You can almost see here his blue/green eyes... they are just stunning. And this guy is
SUPER friendly! Just too sweet... he is gonna be really tough to sell.... sigh....
As for me this past week - well I got my new glasses, trying to get use to them. I have worn contacts for nearly my whole life (got them on my 13 birthday a LONG time ago) And getting use to glasses is not going so well, I so miss my contacts!! The feel of glasses, the weight. They have to be larger frames due to the injury.. the doctor wanted larger frames to protect my good eye as well as the one that has been lost. I am trying to get back to life... been actually loading the dish washer this past week, and have done two whole loads of laundry all by myself. Never thought that would be something I would be thrilled to do - but it has felt good to do them on my own. I get tired pretty quick, but each day I feel stronger. But a nap and I feel ready to go again most days!
I even tried to color last night... will need more practice there. :0) With no real depth perception, getting that point of the marker into the tiny details is tough!!! But I will keep practicing and will master it. It did feel good to stamp and move around some ink though!! I feel some crafting in me and that is a great feeling I have really missed.
Thanks again for all the wonderful cards - well wishes and prayers! I feel each of you and I do know that is my strength.
HUGS and

Yea, Michelle, I'm so happy you can go love on your babies! I know that was really hard on you not to be able to. I'm keeping you in my prayers. You'll adjust to the glasses, they will just take a little time. Glad you got to ink and try to color! Hang in there, sweet lady.
Hugs, Linda
What wonderful news that you got to be back with your babies!
Oh Michelle it's so good to hear your 'voice' here on your blog. I am so happy you got the okay to spend time with your animals. I know how much they mean to you, and with their presence it relaxes you even more. Huge hugs to you and the adjustment! My daughter (who has a prosthetic due to cancer) is still very cautious about depth perception. I think I'll drive her around like a chauffeur even when she's allowed to drive on her own. ;) Take care Michelle, we're all praying for you!
So very happy to hear that you were able to go be with your babies!! and that slowly you are being able to do things. I think of you often and hope that the recovery is quick! Hugs!
Michelle, I'm glad you are able to go and spend some time with your babies. I hope things continue to improve for you. I am keeping you in my prayers. I'm with Joni, my little one lost her eye to the same cancer as her DD. It can be an adjustment, but there's no stopping her now.
Hi Michelle,
I enjoyed meeting the new babies today but wonder how in the world you can remember who everyone is....and the 1/2 this and that!! I'm ready to have the great nieces and nephews wear name tags at family parites.
So very very happy to watch your progress, and to also know that I have a friend taking a nap when I do. I love anything chocolate when I wake up.
Take care my friend,
sharyn
I'm so happy that you are finally able to see your babies again.
Hugs and Prayers and well wishes to you. You are right where you should be in your progress and even though some days don't seem to go as well as others, eventually you will be back to independence and won't give those darn glasses a second thought. Thanks for posting pics of the babies, they are so adorable!!!
Hi Michelle,
It's wonderful to read your post and see that you are doing great. Your babies are so darling. Will keep praying for your strength.
Take care and God bless you.
Hugs and Aloha,

Michelle, I am glad you are finally able to get out with all your babies. That will help you healing as good as anything else. Being surrounded by sweet animals that love you is a cure all it's own. Hugs! Thanks for writing and letting us know how you are.
Michelle, it's so good to hear you again! All the critters must be sooo very happy to have you out there again. I'm sure that they've been very confused as to why Mom hasn't been around. I'm also betting that you are going to do better now that you can love on them! Glad to hear that you can feel some craftiness coming on.
I remember after major surgery how I wanted to do silly, dumb, stupid things ~ like laundry, loading the dishwasher, running the vacuum. Normally I HATE doing all those things! But it was just re-claiming your life and proving that you WERE going to get it back! You are doing great and will be back in full swing soon. Just keep hanging in there!
Hugs,

Glad you're able to be with the "kids". They're all so beautiful. I didn't know you sold them. Knowing how much you love them I KNOW how hard it is to let anybody go. I know I'd be crying as they were taken away. I'm a huge animal lover.
I am glad to hear you are doing to well. Thank you for sharing your pictures with us. They all look so adorable.
Wonderful post. I was so happy to see you here today! YEAH, time outdoors with the littel ones. What fun and very *Medicinal!*
Big Hugs....
Michelle~ I am so glad to hear you got to go and play with the babies! YAY!!! That's wonderful news...I know they sure did miss their Mommy! I hope things are looking up for you soon! I know glasses are REALLY hard to get used to! I wore contacts since I was 13 years old too! Then 3 years ago my eye dr told me that glasses would be better because I have a dry eye condition which causes me not to be able to wear contacts for days at a time. I can only wear them for special occasions. I hope you get used to your glasses soon! :) So glad to hear you were in your craft room too! WOW you are superwomen girl! :) You definitely will master those Copics with your injury...again, my Gram lost one of her eyes at the age of 24 due to a brain tumor....and at 70 years old she colors with her Copics every day! :) So I know you will master those markers!!!
Big Hugs to you hun~

Hello Michelle
I hope today finds you stronger than the day before. I am so happy for you to be able to love on the babies. They are so adorable. My little goat "Bacon" has decided he loves to pull my ponytail and even after I cut it he stills likes to pull my hair every chance he gets. You are in my thoughts each day and I pray for your recovery to progress and your wonderful spirit to continue spilling over into your art and the love for your family as well as all your babies :) Hugs and daily wishes.
