A few days ago I said I would post a few photos from Christmas, but then the baby woke up crying and for some reason later this evening I decided I was going to download 50 Shades of Grey and I got caught up in that for a few days. LOL, I was like seriously addicted it to, couldn't hardly put it down until I finished yesterday morning. Not that some parts of it aren't a tad bit strange, but I think it appeals to lots of women because dudes just aren't romantic, or most aren't and the guy in the book is, so of course women want to read. There's that and the book ended with Ana leaving Christian and they are broken up said their goodbyes and she's sitting in her room crying. What woman can't relate to that kind of relationship in her early 20's? Most everyone can. The girl loves the guy - the guy is having a hard time getting past just the physical and admitting that he also is falling in love with her. So something most women can relate to. I know I'm about 5 years late on these books, not sure why I haven't read them before. I downloaded book #2 lastnight but I'm not going to obsess over reading this one...heck I do have Mom responsibilities. My hubs was so mad at me for spending several hours Sunday reading. What? I never read a dang book, so I didn't care. Anyhow here are some of our Christmas break photos. I forgot to mention (I think) that I have Kyla on a waiting list for a Robohand - or to discuss the possibility of getting her one. Actually what she would get would be a roboarm, since she doesn't have a portion of her wrist on her left arm. Google it, it's pretty awesome. 3D printers make functional arms/hands where the fingers (all 5 of them) move. And if you have access to a 3D printer, the cost to make this can be as cheap as $15, rather than the $1100 we had to put out after insurance covered 80%... It looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. That is actually where they got the technologies to make these, I believe the guy who is in Seattle (a co-inventor) used to work on the sets of movies. So they have her on a waiting list and said to expect to hear from them in the new year, which is now...
I am still waiting to hear back on school. I'm getting tired of waiting, but I actually really really want to do ultrasound, so it's worth the wait. I am almost ready to give in and start working toward a medical assistant degree but I don't think that pays near as well and wouldn't be as interesting to me. I will keep checking and hopefully they will make a decision soon. I'm totally not a good just stay at home mom. I need to be doing something, contributing to the family - whatever. I do not think once my girls are in full time school I could just stay home and nothing else - not me. Anyhow here are the photos. Talk later.
Our Christmas card..obviously :) Photos taken/edited by me :)) (Emma was difficult to get to sit still)
Christmas cookies with Kyla.
Our tree minus a star or angel (I can never find one I like so have gone without the past few years).
Emma and one of her Christmas gifts. My sweet blue eyed unicorn.
Kyla bedazzled ;) in her Christmas jewelry.
Here is her prosthetic. The lever on the back of the hand, moves the fingers so they can pickup different things. Everyone asks why the doctor gave her a hispanic colored hand, lol...I have no idea and it's a good question, we go back to see him soon and I'm going to ask if we can switch to something more her skin color - it is off by several shades.
Here Kyla has some silly bands on her wrist from the doctor (are those what those are called?) and she is holding a binky in her prosthetic hand.
Me and my sweet baby just playing downstairs in the basement.
Me again almost ready for the Zion Christmas party...
And my girls visiting Santa. Emma is terrified of Santa. Poor thing. Kyla looks pale and washed out :( oh well, we still got the picture.
