What’s that in the tree?

A. A monkey?
B. A baboon?
C. Ron?

If you guessed all three, you are correct!

Ron showed off his agility Saturday by climbing Grandma’s tree and rooftop to take down her holiday lights.

Happy New Year

He looks cute, but he was in the bathtub for a reason yesterday morning. According to Jen: “Silas said happy new year by first vomiting on me and then blowing out his diaper.”

“Babe, bring me another beer.”

Alo enjoys the luxury of reclining in front of the fireplace at his new digs.

In the meantime, Bruce and I went to the Natural History Museum yesterday and saw the King Tut exhibit – quite interesting. Along the walk to the Museum we passed what I believe may be the tree planted in memory of my dad, Jack Kelly (circa 1977). I have a photo somewhere of Janni, Jamie, and me (pregnant with Ron) holding Robb. I need to dig it up to compare to see if I got the right tree in the photo below.

I got notification the family calendars should arrive on or around January 9, so I’ll be making calendar deliveries soon!

It’s cold outside!

Pizza Nova with the grandkids

I took this video a couple weeks ago at Pizza Nova. It’s cute how Maya and Alo communicate. They’re going to miss each other.

Now, just for fun, check out this YouTube video. It made me laugh & I believe you will too.

I finished the family calendar today. It took me about 8 hours total to get it done and I think it’s going to be the best one yet. The theme this year is the grandkids. It’s pretty much all about them. I should receive it before January 15, and I’ll be distributing them when they arrive. Working on it brought back a lot of memories of the past year. There are so many cute pictures. I can’t wait to see the final product.

Fair well

Ernie and other toys await their departure, and an empty high chair evidencing the loneliness and quiet house after Robb, Akuch & Alo left yesterday.

Robb texted us at 11pm last night that they made it to their new home safely.

Along the way, they stopped for lunch at Costco (must be a pregnant thing), Alo wearing his t-shirt representing the fact that he’s San Francisco bound.

Robb just sent these photos of Alo enjoying the beautiful park in their neighborhood.

We will miss them more than I can explain, but how fortunate we are to be living in this day & age where we can stay in touch so easily by email, texting, blogging and FaceTime and Skype. I can’t wait to FT Alo and show him what’s going on out his window!
