Ok...
a) The paintings are gorgeous! Thank you! If you don't mind me asking, what program did you use? I have a program I use for my computer art called Artrage. I don't like it as much as the real thing but it's fun to play with. (Yes, I'm an artist in real life - I specialize in sketches. I also design character themed walls for children's rooms.)
b) Thank you for all the well wishes and congrats. Matthias and I are doing great. He just follows me around EVERYWHERE in the house, even to the bathroom. We have taken several naps together, one even with the older dog we have, Cinamin (she mothers the new baby completely). He has come out of his shell tonight, eating a hearty dinner and playing on the floor with me. I lay down flat and he just jumped over me back and forth playing tug-o-war with his rope toy. It was hilarious and fun. And nice also, to actually play with a dog and not have it hurt me when it jumped on me.
He really is doing well.
Lots of pictures will always follow. And I'm a video nut too, so those will be coming as well. Quality won't be great cause it's with my very old old digital camera, but it's better than nothing!
our angel is a blessing. And I know she'll continue to be a blessing to many more people. She has a heart of gold and I still pray I'll be able to meet her in person someday so I can hug her myself. Of course, I'll likely end up in tears at that point, cause as my husband says I'm just high maintenance. hheheheheehe anyway. Sleep well all!
