Shuffling off to Buffalo

Here's how Monkey felt after we arrived in Buffalo:



We were supposed to leave Thursday night and go home Tuesday night. Instead, we left Friday night (one cancellation, three rebookings, and an hour-and-a-half delay later), but we did extend our stay to Wednesday night instead.

On Monday, we went out in a major snowstorm so Monkey could have his first haircut. Here he is before:



And here are a few after shots:



You can blame Nana for the lack of shots of the haircut-in-progress. He was very good, though he did give the stylist some funny looks when he (the stylist) pulled out the trimmers.

Here's how he felt afterward:



In other news, Monkey is now regularly referring to me as Mama (yay!) and he also says bye-bye (and waves). It's really very cute. And here's his latest trick:

Hey Jen!

Here I am at my sister Rosie's house in Eden. I've been in Buffalo visiting my family for the week. When Rosie asks if I know about "Monkey"!
Well he's just the cutest thing and it looks like things are going well for you.
I'm living in the New Paltz area these days, after some 12 years in NYC, and loving it! Found love of the local mountains, organic farming, and this lovely motorcycle boy. I've been working for the past year on a Turtle conservation project and am now on the job search path again. None the less all is well and I was glad to hear good tiding of you in the final throws of this year!
Have a peaceful new year, be well, and say hi to your mom for me!
Peace, Amie
(your long lost cousin!)

You might believe that I haven't looked at the blog in a while. What a treat! My nephew is sooooo cute. And my sister in law is so much more technologically advanced than the rest of the family. We did get a giant new TV (56") to watch Matt's favorite football team (Pats) go undefeated, my favorite team (Skins) make the playoffs in the rare role of a sentimental favorite, and Brian and Jen's favorite team (Bills) play in every game from beginning to end (regardless of how meaningless or lopsided the game is).
