Wow, Grandma, Aunt Kara has achieved her lifetime want. They gave her a nice gold statue and she didn't even have to retire first. I think a gold watch might be nicer and more useful; but the statue looks cool, doesn't it?



Aunt Kara still works nights and mostly paints all day long. She creates so many really interesting paintings that we have problems finding a place to hang them all. She says that she will make portraits of us all someday.



I have met a really nice guy named Rafael. He is a bit of a loner and, therefore, is a bit intimidated by our large family. Yet, I think we are destined to be together.



Keiana doesn't like the outdoors, so she spends a lot of time playing chess and painting.



Daddy is collecting a lot of plaques for perfecting his various skills.



Pretty much life continues as before. I know you watch over us, and I hope you are happy with the way things are working out for us. I just wanted to let you know we still think of you and miss you often.



Love, Keiki
