Happy 17th Birthday, Anara!

Today is Anara's 17th birthday. We are looking forward to seeing her tomorrow and celebrating her birthday with cake at Peggy's house Sunday.

Julie and the kids arrived this evening at Kathy's after an eight hour drive from Charlotte. Hugs all around, and then we had dinner together. The great Martin family reunion has begun.

Chris and Sherrie and Anara will arrive from Portland tomorrow afternoon. Ed and Terri and Molly will fly in much later, so we won't see them until Sunday. Bill and Michelle and Sophia and Gryphon will drive from Madison, arriving around 6:00 p.m. Jeff and Stephanie and Todd and Aria will be over too, so we'll have a large group for dinner

We are very sorry to be missing Robert and Bibi and Juli, and we'll be thinking of all our family members who have died
