Owner of the Monkies' Hearts!

My first note is one of congratulations! Jess got her first really really really REALLY big cover. You can see her all over newsstands now!

Second bit is for Jay. We miss you Daddy! He is on his third gig as a guest spot tattooer and international man of mystery in beautiful Athens, Ga! Third piece for Chelsea, Happy Birthday!!!

You know, this is less smoke and mirrors than it was before, Mini sitting up, that is. She is really getting those abs and obliques going! I think she may be the next little Hercules.

Of course this picture is a testament to my profound intelligence. Give a toddler watercolor pencils and don't keep track of all of them. You know what is worse than crayon on your walls? Watercolor pencils. They are made to not wash off. My fridge is pink too!

And of course we have to angelically vamp to establish innocence.

I feel this shot more accurately depicts Monk's dark side. Wouldn't want to meet her in a dim alley. No sir. She'll shake you down for milk money, she don't care.

And then there is Cherub-Baby Mini. A real bottle-holdin', almost sittin' up, entirely cutie piece of work!

Back to the dark side! (....) with Sausage Face! We kinda just had breakfast sausage for breakfast this morning. I figure it is okay to take the name literally. I mean, it's just like breakfast cereal, right? Maybe a little tastier...

We all (courtesy of, and including our friend Courtney) had a photoshoot today. Mini and she were practicing their 'surprised but elated' faces. The opposite of blue steel, maybe red copper?

And... back to Monk Life. Crib siiiiide!

But seriously folks, we were celebrating Chelsea's 29th at a Vietnamese restaurant, and Monk was so over it she put on her big girl glasses and dozed off. At least until the Pho and Lemonade came.

Lastly, a little treat-y nugget since we are spending all our time missing our Daddy. I like to call this "Pack Monk". or perhaps, "Monk-mule"

Fin.
