BeadMonkey 7
He’s almost done! All he needs now is a tail, and you get the first picture.

Speaking of monkeys with and without tails…Emma’s brother David and his family were in town for Thanksgiving. We invited them over on Saturday to watch the UF game (both Dave and Lori grew up in Gainesville). While playing with Joseph, the 5-year-old, I said something about monkeys with no tails. He looked at me and very seriously and said, “What you think is a monkey with no tail is actually an ape.” Touche, Joe, touche.
