A non-Katrina post!




We drove up to Alexandria, LA, on Saturday to see our boys. Finally, something somewhat normal for a change. Okay, so that situation will never seem normal, but I digress. As you can see, Adam is a two-fisted eater when pizza is involved. He eats the pieces upside-down, I suppose to avoid burning the roof of his mouth. Toby is less robust when eating his pizza. We had great fun as a family in the motel swimming pool, with DW and I swapping off kids whenever Toby said, "switch!" Toby has learned to jump into the pool off of the side, and he enjoys making splashes. Adam has learned to splash people using his arm and hand, and he certainly enjoys that.

Today we went to Sam's Club and picked up a carload of merchandise to donate to the Red Cross. The collection point around here is inside a movie theater. When we dropped the stuff off, the theater employee took us back into a room filled with movie posters, and told us to take a bunch of them. We probably took about 10 or so. Another theater employee approached us as we were leaving and said that the manager had approved giving us a couple of fabulous Spider-Man posters. So when I get to working again, I may hang Antonio Banderas' and Catherine Zeta Jones's "Zorro" posters in my workspace.

Your boys look so cute eating pizza, it must have felt really good to see them. I hope you will share pictures of your movie posters one you get settled back into the office.

(and you and your wife are incredible human beings. You guys are living far from your home and yet you still donate generously to others.)

Pizza, pizza! Yum! Son would take off almost all the topping from the pizza but he's starting to leave on the cheese now.

So glad to hear you are all having fun!
