I guess if you are going to be reading about us, you should be able to put a face with the names.
Here is our first character…I affectionately call her Monkey Girl.
She is 8 and is honestly the sweetest, kindest, smartest, best girl I know. If I were 8, you can be sure I’d be clamoring to be her best friend. She’s kind to everyone, almost to a fault, and is a wonderful big sister. She’s generally fearless, and is just an all-around great kid. Love her!
Next, we have Monkey in the Middle.
This guy is the biggest snuggler I have ever known. He’s not truly happy until he is completely snuggled up against me. He’s 5 and he’s funny, he’s smart and he loves his mama. Being the middle child definitely has some challenges, and he’s struggling with them, but he’s working through it and is going to come out just fine. Love this guy!
Finally, we have Baby Monkey.
We are well aware, even at 3, that when he graduates from high school, this kid is going to be the Class Clown. He’s just darn funny. He talks constantly. He questions constantly. It’s either, “Mommy…look at this,” or “Mommy, is syrup made out of orange juice?” or “Mommy, I’m gonna take this over here because, because, because, because, because, because I like to walk over here.” He’s a big lovey, and carries his sisters baby doll around the house, quietly singing to it and loving it. I love this guy.
To protect the innocent, I won’t be using real names…at least not the real names of the family. Because he wouldn’t like it, I also won’t be using pictures of my husband. I’ll just call him, Real Man. ‘Nuff said.
And, then there’s me…
Oh, I’m sorry…I get confused sometimes.
Actually, I like to stay behind the camera, so there probably won’t be many shots of me. However, I’m up at the top of the page, and may show up every now and then in a shot with the monkeys.
Anyone else who appears here has given their permission. I’m heading to a girls weekend with my oldest (not in age, but in length of friendship) and dearest friends, and am hoping that they’ll let me photograph and talk about them. Pictures of my beautiful friends would definitely up my readership!
So, for now, that’s our cast of characters. You’ve got some names and faces and you’ll get to know us well; probably better than you want to.
