Not Good at Clever Titles

Allen here... unlike Heather, who works much harder than I do, I have some quiet time in our one-room house to get this thing going. I think it's funny, at least with our family, there are so many different ways we keep in touch: facebook, family websites, texting, and the occasional phone call. Well, in an effort to consolidate time and energy, we've created "The Patin Palace," named after our apartment in downtown Chicago, "The Patin Place," but with a typo, so we left it. So in an effort to keep our online correspondence with our family & friends relatively personal, Heather and I hope to keep this blog updated with all the fun stuff going on in our lives......and in our heads. We frequently find ourselves lying in bed at night laughing at some of each days' events to which we usually make fools of ourselves, so maybe we'll share those with you, along with other funny stuff we come across.

FYI: Dad is sending our camera cable so we can upload pics onto the computer. Grandma: Sorry for the wait, it will be up shortly!
