Come and meet Kei, Miki, and Ko. They have come to live with Ken and Hana.

My name is Kei.



Hi everyone... My name is Kei (actually pronounced in English as Kay) and has a Japanese (佳 ) meaning of beautiful.

I have to thank my Mama for her wonderful handmade designed clothes. My shirt is made from a traditional Japanese fabric. My Mama had to fix my ears and pierced my ears so that I could enjoy wearing pearl earings. I also have ribbon rosebuds on my shirt which my Mama handmade.


My name is Miki.



My name is Miki. My name has a lovely Japanese (美貴) meaning of beautifully precious. My Mama recently adopted me, my sister, and my brother. We are joining Ken and Hana.

My clothes are handmade by my Mama. Mama fixed my ears and pierced them. I have a headband and purse that are decorated with crystal beads. My skirt is a traditional Japanese linen fabric. I have a lovely pearl necklace.


Hi, my name is Ko.



Hi Everyone... My name is Ko and in Japanese [it is written like (航)] it means to travel on sea. I just came to live with Ken and Hana.

My Mama fixed my ears, gave me my smile, and made my clothes. I like the sea and that is why my handmade hat is a sailor's cap.


Here are Kei, Miki, and Ko.



These three sock monkeys are now adopted. They were part of a surprise planned by Ken and Hana.

They are going to help our Mama say her prayers. They will enjoy studying with Ken and Hana. Also, there will be lots of monkey fun, too!


Already they are busy studying!



As you can see, they are already reading their prayer book. Ken and Hana have joined them.


Here are Ko and Ken.



Ken was lonely and wanted a little boy monkey friend to live with him.


Here are Kei, Miki, and Hana.



Hana wanted to have a little sock monkey friend to live with her, too.

However, when her Mama went to adopt one little girl, she found two little girls!


More sock monkey fun time!



Here are Kei and Ko. Ko just couldn't pass up a time to tumble! Afterall, monkeys have to have fun!


Do sock monkeys like to eat cherries?



Maybe they do or maybe the don't?
They are only beginning to enjoy different experiences!
They did like looking at the red cherries!
