Hey There,
Well a little update on my husband Russ. His heart surgery went very well and he is now home recovering. Woohoo! We will know more about it’s success in a couple of weeks. Keep your fingers and eyes crossed for us, lol. Thank you for all of your well wishes and prayers!
Another update, how about these chicks. Let me introduce them again to you since they have changed so very much in the past 7 weeks.
This is Red at week 1 and at week 7 with the same stamps so you can check out how much she has grown. . . . . . . . . . .
Hello, tap, tap, tap, are you out there. . . . . .
How about a back view . . . . . These stamps make great perches.
Here I am doing my model pose. This is my good side, right?
********************************************************************************
My name is Buffy, I don’t slay vampires, just spiders. Buffy at week 1 and 7.
My feathers are sooooo soft and I love to be held.
These are my very big chicken feet.
**************************************************************************
I’m Sophie the black beauty! I’m very hard to photograph since I’m all black now. Here I am at week 1 and 7.
See how long and sleek I can make my neck look. This is a trick so you don’t see any double chins, lol.
***************************************************************************
I’m the most exotic looking chick. My name is Bunny. That’s right, don’t laugh. I’m an Easter Egger so that is why my name is Bunny. I’ll lay either green or blue eggs when I’m all grown up. Which color won’t be known until the first egg is laid.
Bunny at week 1 and 7.
We are actually inside the house in this small box until the temp outside drops below 100 degrees. Air conditioning is the bomb!
Now it is time for our Mommy to clean her desk, lol.
Cheep, Cheep!
Stay cool.
Until my next post.
Hugs,
Michelle
Love the photos. So happy that your hubby is home and doing better. I know how scary it can be as I went through it with mine a few years back. Take care of yourself.
Hugs, becky
You are such a good mommy !!!!
They are beautiful chickens!!
I can see chick prints incorporated in a card of some sort
*LOL* I love the stories and pictures of the chicks. Good job “Mommy”! And I’m so glad that Russ came through with flying colours. *HUGS*
Michelle, these chicks are a hoot!!! Your photography is fantastic too. Thanks so much sharing with all of us. Love You, Sonja

Oh thanks so much for sharing the photo’s of the chicks they are just beautiful. Glad Russ is home and doing well we will pray for his continuing to get well.
Michele, I am so happy to hear that Russ is doing well! May it be so for many more years ahead. Your chickens are a hoot. Thanks for the smiles. Stay well, Patricia
Glad to hear Russ is doing okay. I pray things continue to improve for him. Love the photos of the chicks. I’ve got a peahen on a nest and am expecting babies in about a week. Baby birds are sooooo much fun!!
Glad to hear that Russ is doing well after his surgery. Your feathered family is sooo cute. Maybe you should change your name to Michellechick. You and Russ remain in my thoughts and prayers. Mamaduck!
Or change your name to Mamachick. LOL
Michelle, I’m glad to here your hubby is home and doing well. Wishing him a full recovery and better health for the future.
I love the photos of your chicks. My, they have grown big in only 7 weeks. They look wonderfully different, colourful and cute. Thanks for the update and sharing your lovely photos.
Thanks for the update on your “peeps.” They sure do change! They’ll be fun to watch over time.
I am so glad that your husband is doing better! I often think about what if that was me when I hear about others trials. I can not even imagine what it would be like to not have my sweet love! I enjoy your blog and your wonderful art. I think you and I could be good friends we seem to have a great deal in common. I have recently retired from being a teacher and then school administrator. My husband is the Head Mens basketball coach here in LIttle Elm High School. ( Close to Dallas) I have enjoyed being home and my crafting and card making has sure helped me to feel welcomed here and make new friends. I am not sure where you live but, if you feel comfortable giving me your mailing address, I would like to send you some of my cards just for fun. Maybe we can become on line stamping friends! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers ! I LOVE THE CHICKS! And glad they like to stamp too! HA! Debbie
Glad your husband is home and resting. I know it has been a rough couple of years for you and hopefully this surgery is the answer you have been praying for. Take care,
So glad Russ is doing well! Thanks for sharing the chicks with us.
I’m so happy to hear that Russ’ surgery went well. May he have a smooth and speedy recovery. My thoughts and prayers are with both of you.
you are suck a good mamma chick….a.c & all! thanks for the intro; it’s always nice to know a bit about your blogger’s family; YAY to Russ on another recooperation; stay healthy & safe & hopefully no more surgeries; any idea the fate of these chicks? tfs.
So glad your hubby is doing well. I just love your chick pics! They are so cute! Thanks for sharing!
Your chick flicks are so fun. They grow and change so fast.
I’m so glad to hear an update on your husband Russ. That first week is so scary for everyone in the family, so I’m happy everything has gone well. I hope your house is staying cool.
So glad to hear that your husband is doing well. Thank goodness for modern medicine, concern by others, and the Great Healer.
Cute pictures of your chicks.
So good to hear Russ is doing well enough to be released from the hospital – home is always a much better place to be. Prayers will continue for complete and speedy recovery. The changes in your chicks are incredible, cute then, handsome now. Were you teasing about the colored eggs Bunny will lay or have they actually engineered that now? I’m looking forward to receiving my order placed through your website on July 7th….several items I’ve been wanting for sometime now, especially the tulip e.f. Keep cool!
i just started raising chickens a couple of years ago. i have Al three breeds you hanger and then some. i wanted to most you know that the first chick it’s a specked Sussex, and Bunny is a true ameraucana. you can tell because she has”sideburns”. you can also tell what color eggs she’ll lay by the color off her legs. it likes looked they’ll be dark green.
you might try using Photoshop for additional chicken photo fun. I’ve put photos of my hens in outer space, in bikinis, and over dressed as George Washington. out doesn’t seem to bother my chickens.:-)
Obviously, I have not been keeping up well with my favorite blogs….had no idea about Russ’ surgery OR the new chicks. Good news all the way around. And a special chicken who can lay colored eggs? Sounds like Bunny is the perfect name for her. Amazing…almost as amazing as heart surgery, hope Russ continues to recuperate and that the surgery does the trick for a return to good health!

p.s. I love that your little chickies are stamp lovers! LAAT was the perfect background for chickies! I do miss that great stamp set with the chickens…still have it but rarely use it. I think we need another chicken stamp set!
Wonderful news that your husband has his surgery behind him and that he is doing well.
How fun to see updated pictures of your chicks and how much they have grown. They are so different from each other with their colors. I can’t believe how calm they must be if you got them to pose for pictures.
So glad your hubby is home already!! Hope he continues to improve and do well!
The chick pics are so cute
Bunny is beautiful!!
Your chicks are so pretty. I miss that part about living on a farm. My prayers will be with you and especially with your Husband.
so glad to hear good news~ sending my best wishes to both you & Russ. always helps to be home.
your chicks are arodable~
Cute chickies. Happy news about your hubby’s surgery. I’ll keep him in my prayers for a full recovery.
Awesome pics, Michelle! I need to borrow Buffy tonight! The reason I’m up so late is that I was laying in bed and turned on the light to find a spider on the ceiling looking down at me. (EEEK!!) I got my handy dandy electric fly swatter and took care of it, but it’s kinda freaked me out about turning out the lights and trying to sleep again… Buffy, I need you!!
Oh! And I will continue to pray for good results for your husband! I’m so glad his surgery went well. Crossing everything for you!
So happy Russ is home and doing well. Prayers for his continued recovery. Your chicks are so cute. It cracks me up that you had them in your craft space!
So glad to hear your hubby is doing well. Love the chick updates! My boys love chickens!! They even have an incubator where they have raised their own from eggs.
Glad to hear Russ’s surgery went well and I loved getting to know your chicks! I have never been close to see baby chicks and had no idea how fast they grow! They are really cute too, which I am sure you already know.
Hugs, Patty M.
So glad Russ’s surgery went well. The chicks are growing so fast! When will they start laying eggs?

So glad to hear your hubby is home and well, Mickey! And what a great momma you are to your chicks! They’re looking so grown up! Hope there’s room for me at your Sacramento visit as I am saving up my money.
It is so good to hear that Russ’s sugery went well. I will keep him in thought and prayer during his recovery.
