Winter is almost done and we are almost there! That car outside could be us :)
We should be there any day grandma! Nana has made the boys new shorts for the trip. They are very excited to show them to you. One pair is red and the other is "Bob the Builder." You should expect us Saturday morning. Maybe we can go to breakfast, or maybe just play at your house. Michael loves helping with laundry if you have any and both boys like to be grocery helpers if you have any shopping you want to do.
See you soon --RAPatton

After
I was at work on the morning of Thursday March 13th 2003 and I received a call from Jenny. Alex decided to stick his finger into a wiffle ball and it got stuck! Jen tried to dislodge, but she could not.
Tacking a new tact, she and Alex proceeded to the Doctor's office after they dropped Michael off at school. It took a scalpel, some time and a lot effort but eventually they got it off. First, they cut it into a ring, and finally they cut that circle off. Alex was very happy to have things return to normal as you can see in his almost "After" picture.

Donutmans Revenge
Jen & I have taken up hot tea again. I finally got her drinking peppermint; she used to drink green and some other flavors. I used to drink earl grey, but I have been pretty much peppermint lately. We sweeten it with honey instead of sugar. We have lots of tupelo honey around the house because of Michael.
I always used to get peppermints from you and grandpa and have always loved them. Michael seems to have an affinity for mint also so perhaps it is genetic. By the time you get this, we should be arriving soon!

Ready, Aim ....
This was winter's last gasp. As you can tell by the absence of Alex's hat and gloves it was pretty warm. In fact, it was about 50 that afternoon! We should be with you at the end of the week and that will redefine warm!
The boys are still talking about the beach, so I would guess that they are excited. Everything is going pretty well; 2 night before we go to Miami, we are taking the boys to see Spider-man Live! at the Palace theater. I am guessing that they will really enjoy it - our seats are 5th row center! See you REAL soon --- Robert

First The Chair Then The World
In this particular picture Michael & I don't look great, but Alex sure does. I have christened it "First the chair, then the world!", a moniker inspired by Alex's "B" movie villain grin.
Jenny plays lots of board games with the children, but I am the physical parent. When they need to get something out of their system we play "Hop on Pop" or "Lobo." I have it on good authority that they may be playing in a theatre near you this spring. ~ RAP

Hurray
We took the boys to the Circus for the first time this week, and they loved it. They saw tigers, elephants, horses, trapeze artists and acrobats. As you can tell from the pictures, the did more than see the animals, Michael & Alex got to ride the ponies and elephants; that was certainly their favorite moments.
We took Michael's friend Andrew with us; as you can tell he had a wonderful time also. As much fun as the children had, it was clear that Jen had the most fun; in her defense, she had never been to the Circus either! ~ See you soon, Robert

Jenny, Michael & Alex's first trip to the circus was a rousing success. Long after the audience had hushed a certain female's claps could be heard echoing through the three rings.
Michael and Alex rode the ponies and Michael went on the elephants twice! I would say that the hightlight was the acrobats, elphants and the Human cannonball. When ask if he would like to be a human canonball, Alex responds "Noooo."
