2016
Each year, as I sit down to write an Ode to the year gone by, I am in awe. There is so much life that has been lived, things that one year ago I never would have dreamed of.
A year ago I didn't know we would lose two pets, and add a new one to our family (today!).
A year ago I didn't know that Elisabeth would have surgery to fuse her entire spine.
A year ago I didn't know that three of my children would be transferring to new schools.
A year ago I didn't know that I would finally see Joshua Bell perform in concert.
A year ago I didn't know that Donald would be cast in his first play and fall in love with theater.
A year ago I had no idea of any of it...but it all happened, life has continued to write its story.

And now we turn the page to 2017 and I wonder, what will this year bring?
Our new goldendoodle, Apollo, who joined our family this morning!
Goodbye, 2016!
