However, since we're playing catch up with the postings, I'll ask you to displace the newness of the pic posted in Missy's send off message on 3/27 because in this post I will offer you shots from Xmas in NY with the Allen's.
Do not worry that it is now spring and I am writing about Xmas. We'll get to spring...just be patient and stay with me.
Ya know what kids love? Jumping on the bed!! Just when you think that gets old...there's getting thrown onto the bed! So here's some good action shots of the Allen men. Morgan getting thrown by 
me and
me and Nolan getting horizontal with my father while Missy captures the action.
Missy came in the room because she couldn't imagine what all the noise was, then she retreated to get the camera. (She loves the shot of Nolan)
One of the many things that I've acquired from my father is some great wit and the ability to tease, er...I mean challenge others (especially children). Kids are better for it. I know I am and as much as Missy would like to sock me one sometimes, she knows it's good for her too. We are constantly amazed at the intellect Morgan shows back to us.
Here we have my father talking to Morgan in what looks like an innocent conversation until you notice the silent tug of war of Morgan's once inseparable mate 'monkey'. Meanwhile Nacho's snuggled into his sidekick role.
Later on Morgan grabs a seat on the foot rest of the chair, because let's face it...little kids can get away with that sort of stuff.
