Charles and Amy
The big news: Charles and Amy produced another grandchild for us to enjoy. You may have noticed that the tab in the navigation bar that used to say “Kai” now says “Kai and Kiera.” We have lots of pictures, and even a short video of Kai for your enjoyment.
As reported last year, Charles and Amy have bought a house a short distance from the one they rented in El Cerrito. The photo at the left shows a view of the front of the house with the kids getting ready for a walk. The back yard is landscaped beautifully, thanks to the passion of the previous owner. Here is a photo of Kai helping Charles on Poop Patrol.
Charles continues to work at the National Center for Science Education (NCSE), an organization that defends the teaching of evolution in public schools. Amy is working as a midwife, primarily now for Kaiser in the Bay Area.
We traded several visits this year. Of course, we went to California to see Kiera as soon as we could arrange it. Charles, Amy and the two kids returned the visit by coming to Austin for the Fourth of July. Then we managed another visit to California in August, where Linda attended a CME conference in San Francisco.
Finally, they, along with Claire, came to Austin for Christmas, where Kai proved that kids are often more interested in the packaging than the present. All in all, a very nice year.
