12/52, 13/52, 14/52

I am woefully behind on the 52 project. Awhile back I was struggling with some severe hip problems (pregnancy related) and I was in a wheelchair for a bit. I've kind of avoided this topic on the blog because it sounds more dramatic than it is I think. I mean, true, I couldn't really walk but it's such a temporary thing and I didn't want to raise any alarm or sound like I was complaining. Because of all that I just kind of lost my drive and um... my mobility. The good news is that I'm walking normally now! Praise God! The bad news is... I've been avoiding this project because I didn't feel like I could catch up. But I DO have some photos of Audrey each week with the help of some friends and fam.

Audrey: You love trying to walk Squirrel on the leash. Squirrel doesn't listen to a word you say so Papa stays close to ensure that Squirrel complies with your wishes.

Audrey: We took you to the zoo for the second time. You LOVED it. We brought your plastic animal toys along with us and you would hug them close and squeal in delight each time we saw an animal you recognized. Your love of animals is constant and all-consuming. Also, your papa is amazing. Did you know he pushed me in a wheelchair the whole visit to the zoo? There are a lot of hills. He loves me a lot. I love him too.

  7. So pleased to hear those hips are behaving. And I love the Hamilton zoo - especially the rhinos as we don't have any at our zoo. What a lovely hubby to help you get around too!

  8. I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling to keep up with the 52 thing... and I don't have a dramatic excuse ;) Glad you are well now though, and love your positive God-glorifying attitude in the midst of what I'm sure was a hard time for you xxx
