Ten Months Later

I can't believe it's been nearly a year since I added to this. We've been busy every minute.

I finally found Bob's breaking point for the world famous UGLY kitchen cabinets. I painted them a bugly red and tan. So he tore all the cabinets out and we are getting a new kitchen. Twenty seven years of hating my kitchen...Yeah!

All is well with the family. Michelle and Charlie have a new baby boy - Charles Seth Rainer Banner. Not sure whether Rainer is to honor the mountain or the beer, but since he didn't name it Bud, we will assume it is the mtn. Jennifer will have to go some to beat that name. She is due 7/2.

Claire is walking, talking and her little horns are developing at the appropriate rate. They don't show under the red hair, but we know they're there.

Charlie and Anna just moved into a house overlooking Boeing Field in Seattle. They have the most amazing view of the Seattle skyline and a deck that was made for parties.

Mom and Dad are doing ok. She is having a knee replacement in September. He is getting transfusions every 4 weeks. It is hard.
