Of course, the major event this year for Claire and Ron was the birth of the twins Scarlet and Violet, which is told in detail here.
As usual, Ron and Claire continued the family tradition of traveling, managing two trips to Houston, and even a quick jaunt to Mexico before Claire reached the “travel is not recommended” stage. The photo from Christmas shows Claire well beyond the traveling stage.
Then, there was the “cabin” near Philo, Purple Haze. This has finally reached the point where it upstages the condo in SF. The interior is complete, with a modern kitchen that rivals Charles's and Amy's, and a new deck has a hot tub big enough for Linda and several grandkids.
When not traveling, Claire practices Pediatric Anesthesia at Children's Hospital and Research Center in Oakland, CA, same as last year.
Ron still works at a day job, with Advent Software, while waiting for his band to catch a break.
