Thank you so much for welcoming my boys into your home. They had a very good time being little boys in your home. They loved your ottoman and your company and have fond memories of you. Visiting grandma in Florida will always go hand in hand with playing at Ann's house! Thanks!

I promise the Miami pictures will end soon. We took so many (500!) so it was inevitable that a good number are worthy of gracing a postcard to your door.

Like this one for instance. I call it "Where ever you go..." You can fill in the rest and even pencil in which boy is saying it to his brother. No matter how you imagine it, I cannot believe that it would be far from the mark. For the most part, those 2 get along better than any siblings I have ever known.

Sincerly,

I call this picture "the Jet-setters." Michael and Alex sure have gotten around in their young lives. They are going to go to LA for Easter in a few weeks and it seems like they just got back. Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, Mexico and Texas to name a few. Keep your fingers crossed, maybe we can back to Miami this year. After this LA trip the only place we have to go is New Orleans (Jenny's brother's wedding). I am ready for things to quite down. The weather is beautiful here today; I hope it is nice down there for you too.

Your god son just returned from a nice long trip to Miami. A brand new hotel on South Beach in a room with view; what more could a boy ask? How about a brand new playground next store, heated pool and a wonderful diner around the corner (Big Pink)? It is safe to say that Alex is having a wonderful childhood.

I am sorry that I have not sent more picture recently. I have been sending cards like this to Molly each week which has allowed me to be lazy with respect getting prints made. I hope you enjoy this and I promise I'll send another soon. ~Robert

Here are you little Jet-setters getting ready for their trip to South Beach. Of Course, by the time you get this it will be a brief time until they take to the air once more.

Destination:Los Angeles.

Soon, they will pack their bags once more and continue their whirlwind tour leaving smiles in their wake. Brace yourselves, the jet-setters are coming.

I think this picture is just lovely. You both look so happy just playing at the beach. I am not alone in my appreciation for this picture. When I asked Bill this morning which picture was his favorite he said this one. Jenny and I took over 500 pictures, so that is saying something.

I am very glad that you came down to the beach. It allowed you to observe the boys in their native environment allowing you a better look into their world. If nothing else, we got a great picture out of it!

P.S. I am going to send Melanie a copy

The boys had a great time visiting grandma last week; from this picture I think you can tell she had a great time also. Out of all the pictures I took on this jaunt the consensus is this one is the best.

Grandma came down to the beach and stayed for a few days. I think that was great for everyone. Grandma got to go to the beach, the pool and explore a part of town that is almost a different world; a vacation without really leaving home.

We hope all is well,
The Pattons
