Hello to all our friends and family,
Last year's theme was "we settled” both among the redwoods of the Santa Cruz mountains and among the social settings of work / school. This year’s big adventure was Andrew founding his own start-up, Redwood Labs, and working on bringing his product vision to life with Graffer. It’s not there yet, but he gave himself from March 2014- March 2015… we’ll report! We also welcomed a guide dog puppy, Tracker, to our home from February - November. He’s back at the guide dog school in training, so we’ll have his outcome to report on in 2015 too! Now, let us embark on this year's holiday quiz and see how well you've been keeping up :)
