Ian and Candace

Ian and Candace - Their lives underwent a big change this year as Ian left the Attorney General's office this fall and joined a firm in Seattle. The firm handles large "worthy" plaintiff lawsuits. As a result, though, Candace is leaving our firm as of the end of the year; it is hard to see her go as my "easy" retirement goes with her and I will miss our chats at work. She is losing a big part of her identity and the move will be hard in some ways; she may be back to law once the kids are older, or direct her legal and many other talents in other directions. Ian and Candace are also moving north to avoid the Ft Lewis horror and make the commute better for Ian. Surprise, surprise, they bought a house about 3 blocks from Liesl and Nate in Puyallup and the kids will all go to the same grade school! Aidan (almost 7), Donovan (5 ½), and Aiyana (almost 3) are all full of energy and smile and leave us wondering how we ever managed three also!
