Friday's monkey diaries

Well, since we have a fan in Matt I figured I would continue the monkey diaries. I forgot to blog on Friday, so here is that edition. I guess the monkey has the same problem that Art has, he wants the calendar changed before it's time.

Monkey diaries...

Art got him ready for a walk, but it was too hot today. This may be getting old, so I may not put anymore on unless there is a particularily funny one.

Sleepy Morgan

I was watching Morgan while Katie went to a Dr.'s appointment. I was rocking her in a position that seemed to calm her. When Katie came back we found she had fallen asleep. It didn't look very comfortable to me, but she apparently found it to be. I'm really not that bored (though I look like it), I was just as relaxed as Morgan I guess.

Monkey diaries continued

Can Casey come out to play?

Father's Day and a late entry from the monkey diaries.

The Hulmes went out to dinner at Outback on Sunday. A good time was had by all. Casey had fun playing with his "Cachow" car and train. Morgan fell asleep early on and slept the whole time. The rest of us enjoyed the our dinner and conversation. We asked one of the kids up front to take our picture after dinner.

I forgot to blog on the monkey on Friday, so I am including one of him checking out the baseball scores on our computer. And then today, enjoying a quiet day in the rocking chair with his family. Hopefully you aren't finding this too weird and boring. I just thought it might be fun and quirky, like Art.

The tale of the monkey-first day with block

Art has been taking it upon himself to use a stuffed monkey we have to send me messages in the morning when I get up. He always gets up before me, since he rises about 5-5:30am, way too early for me. He started with one of the blocks I crocheted for the shop I have. It kind of took off after that. I will put them up one day at a time, until he gets sick of doing it. I guess you could call it, "The chronicles of the monkey". <

Katrina's graduation from RIT

I know it's a shock, but I'm actually blogging already. We went to Rochester for my niece Katrina's graduation from Rochester Institute of Technology. She graduated with highest honors with a bachelor degree of fine arts in illustration. She also received a medal for "Outstanding Undergraduate Scholar" at a special banquet a few weeks ago for keeping her grades at a high level for the four years she attended. It was really special to be there to see her graduate and we were all very excited for her and this new chapter she is starting in her life. There are pictures of Katrina and her grandparents(my parents), and one with her mom and dad. The last one is the celebration meal we had at Bugaboo Creek Steakhouse. In that picture you will see Katrina in the front, her dad to her right, then her brother-in-law Tim, her sister Janina, Denise and my sister-in-law Jackie, my mom, my sister Denise, me and last Art. We all had a great time. It was a short trip, but we wouldn't have missed it for the world. Congratulation again Katrina on a great job!
