Family Bulletin #4; Daddy has a Birthday!

Dear Family,

We just returned from Six Flags Amusement Park. The Portman company picnic was there and they paid the admission fee. So we went. Unfortunately, Kjersti couldn't get on any rides because she is considered "disabled". We did go on the "Monster Plantation" haunted boat ride, where we were the only riders over 3 feet tall. It was awesome.

Yesterday was Alex's birthday. Thanks to everyone for the cards, gifts, emails and calls. I appreciate it. The birthday was great. This year has been very good and I am thankful for a wonderful family, the baby on the way, the Colony Road architecture project and the chance to spend time with you all.

For the birthday dinner, Kjersti made meatloaf and mashed potatoes, the meal I always would request for my birthday as a kid, and we had cheesecake for dessert - again the traditional dessert. Except this time Kjersti spiced it up with mango and it was delicious.

Some of you have asked if anyone can write / respond to the Family Bulletin and the answer is: Yes! That would be great and that's why we've left the distribution list visible. We've really enjoyed hearing from those of you who have responded and its good to know what you're up to. I'm sure everyone on the list would like to hear from you too.

Well, we have to hit the pool. Its 95 degrees here in Atlanta and muggy to boot. Then we're going to the chiropractor to undo what Six Flags has done. Alex did go on a few roller coasters, namely "The Ninja" and "Goliath". And they both whipped him good.

Love,
Kjersti & Alex
