Hi Bethany,Thank you for your family picture and your letter. We are so glad to see you and your family having a lot of good times. Your pond is more beautiful than before.We are doing good too. Frank has been working at Microsoft in Redmond WA since last April, and we are planning to move to WA soon. Janella is currently in 8th grade and doing well. Jonathan is almost 2 and half years old and he is a great little boy. Lichen is busy with our kids and taking care the house. We are still thinking Alan every day. There is so much in this world that reminds us of him, we miss him so much. Alan will be remebered forever.We also think of you and the other friends we met in Minnesota. Please say "Happy New Year" for us to the nurses we met. We hope you and your family have a chance coming to the Northwest in the future, we would like to invite you to our home. We want to keep the house we have in Oregon if possible. So, we will have home in both Oregon and Washington. (about 3.5 hours drive one way.)
