my beautiful friend Caterina brought it to my attention that i might have to dig this blog out of its grave. who knows, maybe i will only have to visit the morgue. sorry everyone that i gave up on this for so long. i try so hard to only look at the positive in life and the last several weeks have really tested me. i realize this may not all be positive and rosy but if i'm going to write on here this is all i have at the moment. it's real and writing has always been difficult for me but maybe this is how i'll learn to get over it. so here is what's been happening the last few weeks.
mom made it through her mastectomy and reconstruction well. the hospital here (poudre valley) is so great. they had the nicest nurses that were so sweet. her doctors are amazing.
time out:
i wrote this post several days ago and saved it, came back here and reread it and decided to remove the bitching part. it felt really good to get it out but so yucky reading it again. so i decided to delete that part. i don't need to send negativity out into the world.
most of our doctor appointments are done and mom is on an every other week chemo course so i have full intentions to get into my studio and do some work. my hubby also came up with the idea of putting up a table in the dinning room and bringing up my jewelry to work on. this way i can work in small incriments as time allows but we hope it will bring me some happiness. it's not all bad, don't get me wrong. it's just hard to have someone in my space for so long. and i miss creating sooo bad. but i'm really hopeful that things are going to slow down and i can find some time for me.
on to life here....
snow, snow and more snow. we had 18" total and i loved every inch of it!!! it's all melted now and on the way up to 70 degrees. you gotta love this state!!
any one want to see pictures of bella??
she is still really little here playing with her teddy bear. at her three week appointment she had gained 12oz. thats a lot for a 1.07lb. puppy. then at her last appointment she is up to an even 3ibs. she really shouldn't gain more than another 1/2lb.
these are more recent photos. she LOVES baby carrots. they are healthy and great for teething. she uses her paws to hold it up while she chomps on it. she is sooo cute!!
we had an exciting week last week. our baby learned to climb the stairs!!! we caught it on video. but she won't have anything to do with coming back down. maybe because it takes the whole length of her body and it's a little scary but we'll keep working on it!
hope all is going well with everyone. i miss all of you!
