The newly redeployeds called to tell us they are PREGNANT!!!! WOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!
When they were deployed, I dressed two little stuffed monkeys in tropical gear, photographed them with the surfboard frig magnet they got us on their Hawaiian honeymoon and photoshopped the graphic above. Then we sent a print and the opposite gender monkey to each of them. (We kept the magnet.)
I asked the new mama about a mascot nickname for PN and she said, “Baby Monkey, of course!” Duh me! Of course! LOL Which makes them Mama and Daddy Monkey. đ

Forgot to mention … “monkey” is their pet name for each other.

Congratulations to all of you! You realize that will make Papa Buzz a monkey’s uncle… (ok – that was totally lame, but I’m going with stream of consciousness today.)

LOL!! … My youngest (known as Corporal K here) married a guy with the same first name as Papa Monkey, so Mama Buzz said to the bride and groom that they needed to choose a unique nickname for Baby Buzz’s new uncle.
There’s a family tradition here, since I also married the second, same name as my sister’s hubby, so my girls have always heard their cousins on my side call their Daddy by a cute Uncle Nickname.
So … for various reasons too long to explain, they came up with Uncle YoYo. I got thinking about Baby Monkey’s Uncle YoYo and
thought it would make a funny graphic, so googled “monkey playing yoyo.”
What I got was unexpected and hilarious. Would you believe … there
actually is a Monkey Yoyo?! LOLOL

Can any of you say Baby Monkey’s Uncle YoYo’s Monkey YoYo five times fast!? I can’t! LOL.
Further pondering (you know how your mind wanders in bed at night … ) led to imagining Papa Monkey in a yellow hat.

… and are they going to name Baby Monkey “George”?

It could work, even if the baby is a girl…

From some things that have been said here and there, I’m guessing a boy will be a Junior (so not George) and a girl will be a TBA only after it’s officially posted on the birth certificate. Mama Monkey noted that people seem to feel more free to make disparaging remarks about names before the birth, but if they hate it afterwards, mostly they keep their opinions to themselves. đ

Wow … I hope nobody is using Enos. The way that girl says it, it rhymes with … well, you know.
I googled to make sure I was spelling it right and found this. TOO FUNNY … another monkey connection!
“Enos (died November 4, 1962) was the first chimpanzee that was launched into Earth orbit.”
