Where do I start?!

First, those that don't know, we've had some bad news about my Mom in the last month - stay updated at http://www.caringbridge.com/visit/jpatton as we fight this "pancreatic mass" and travel through this journey together.

We're at the beach right now on a little hiatus and we celebrated Taylor's 5th birthday yesterday - she is my little independence day baby and has a very special birthday. I have posted pictures up at picasa, http://picasaweb.google.com/jpclvrd/TaylorS5thBirthday?feat=directlink.

Hannah is a trip on the beach - we have to try to snap pictures in motion because she NEVER stops moving unless she is asleep. I have more videos, but am having trouble getting them up over this connection, so I will post them as I can. We're taking a break from the actual beach today to rest (it is SO humid!) and let Taylor spend some of her birthday money ($75!). Maybe she'll share it with us?!
