Bionic Fingers? Rock On!
Once I caught myself staring at my friends son, thinking "Why does he look so strange?" and then I realized... *DUH* He has fingers!
Another time, a complete stranger asked "What's wrong with her?" and I stared at her in awe. There is absolutely nothing wrong with my little girl, why would you ask? Oh yeah. Her fingers. They're missing. (Yes, what a rude way to ask! But it's another example of how I forget... which had you told me that whens he was a baby? I'd have thought you were crazy!)
Anywho.... today I was lurking on Huffington Post, and I saw an article titled "Girl, 15, Gets Bionic Fingers."
So I clicked and read! While I am thankful on a daily basis that Skyler doesn't need a prosthetic, and probably never will, I think it is just awesome that these options are becoming available!
Although I do have to leave one warning: Reading through the comments has once again infuriated me... people can be such cruel idiots.

On the road
Skyler and I are spending a few days on the truck with Daddy! She is having the time of her life sleeping in the bunk, and traveling way up high!
A day on the Lake
Last Saturday we got the chance to join Uncle Kevin, Cousin Jacob and Grandpa at the lake!
After our Vegas trip, Skyler has fallen in love with water - so this was a fun experience for her. She loved EVERY minute of it, but wore herself out so much so that she fell asleep within a few minutes of being buckled into the car!
We all got a ride in Kevin's boat! (He built it himself a few years ago, and it's pretty darn cool!) Which Skyler just loved. She kept asking to go faster. **Giggle**

Random Rambles
Thunderstorms, clouds and rain seem to be a theme lately. (Although not so much rain in Pueblo... but dark clouds and thunder!) And Lincoln apparently is getting it's fair share too.
Skyler discovered tonight that she LOVES water colors. Six masterpieces later, it was time to crawl into bed... but only with the promise of being able to paint tomorrow as well.
This weekend is my 10 year high school reunion (photo above is from my original 365 photos - large here)... Sometimes I'm shocked it's been ten years, and others I wonder how it went so fast. Sadly, a lot of people I wanted to see aren't making it back to Lincoln for whatever reason. But it'll still be nice to see some old faces hopefully.
With a few exceptions, my camera hasn't received much love lately. I have hardly taken any photos (even while in Vegas) and I need to work on changing that this weekend! Hopefully I'll get some fun shots...
I have two new favorite websites this week... Pinterest.com (My Page Here) which is basically a glorified bookmarking site! But I've found some neat decorating and cooking ideas there! As well as Google+ which I hope picks up speed! I like the interface a lot more than facebook.
I suppose I have rambled on; I just felt like it was time to update this blog!
