2018

This is our favourites for the year. We were able to enjoy more movies and shows together as a family. We’re still working on getting Catherine to join us on more mountain walks but when she does it’s an accomplishment. Lots of music has filled our home. It’s been nice to have a mix of different types playing in the house which we usually all enjoy. Travel is another passion and Fiji was another country under our belt (new for three of us) and a brief trip to Spain for Phil. It’s been a good year of spending time with our loved ones, taking stock and appreciating each other. We are looking forward to our adventures for next year. Thank you for reading and being a part of our lives. We wish you all health, contentment and much love for 2019!
