still life with monkeys







My brother Paul and his partner Amy are creative and have a rather active fantasy life. They have three monkeys who are an integral part of their family. My son would be appalled to know that I can't remember the monkeys' names! Anyway, this year we sent Christmas presents to the monkeys. We sent a sweater to the monkey who likes to watch TV. Rollerskates to the little guy and "Santa's Coal" bubble gum to the trouble maker. The kids were thrilled to get pictures of the monkeys preparing to open and then enjoying their presents. Domenico was concerned that one of the monkeys had passed out alongside the empty bubblegum sack. He thought "that was a lot of sugar for a monkey." Soraya was happy to see the monkeys with their gifts and thought they owed her a hug.



UDATE: Monkeys names are Hanky, Buddy and Teddy (in descending height order.)

The guys are thrilled to make their web debut! Teddy is getting rather skilled at speed skating with what he calls his "rolling skates."
