The best of 2017

2017 has had its ups and downs, but looking back on the year we have many things to be thankful for. Melody is doing great in school working hard in grade 3. Also, to no surprise Melody has fallen head over heels (literally) for gymnastics. She's moving on to the next level in the new year and will be performing more difficult moves going forward. She caught up to her brother in Tae Kwon Do, earning her green stripe in the summer. The transition to middle school was an adjustment, but Malcolm too has been doing well. He's joined the school band (alto sax), started Ringette and is diligently continuing with Tae Kwon Do as well. Daisy Rey has been the bright spot in our lives, she's been the best family dog we could ask for. Mom had surgery to remove her gall bladder in the fall and has had a new lease on life. Much of the pain that she experienced in the past is now gone. She's still dealing with her various ailments, but the chronic pain she's felt for years has been relieved due to the removal of the gallbladder. Tracey and Roger are still hard at work. Perhaps the biggest addition to the family this past year has been Roger's new motorcycle. He was able to fulfill a lifelong dream. Please see the slideshow below to see a review of 2017.
