    It is always interesting to watch how they use their hands and feet. Also, they can be so gentle–I love to watch how they position their blankets, hold some of the items you have given them.

      If I’m not mistaken that is Annie’s hand. I wish I had her fingernails.

    Thanks for the kind words, but I can only take credit for photos #2 and #3. My co-workers are responsible for the rest. 🙂

    I miss my prehensile toes.

    I love the daintiness of their hands. I noticed that Annie’s fingernails are long, any nail biters in the group?
