Final Post of 2017

As has been the tradition these past few years, we end the year with Bode's school pictures and some pictures of the family.  First, we have Bode's 4th grade school picture--quite the sharp looking kid!

Next, we have a picture from Bode's soccer team.

Finally, some pictures with my new camera Ashley got me for Christmas.  It works pretty well, but there is a bit of a learning curve.  I thought about taking a picture of the new camera with the old camera, but thought that would be stupid :-)  Below are some pictures of Bode playing his new virtual reality game.  He has to use Ashley's phone, so those two are bickering over the phone's use.  But it is a neat game...when the dogs aren't in the way.

Overall, 2017 was a pretty good year--a new dog, a new fish (RIP Mike the goldfish), a new job for Ashley, and evidently a new camera for me.  Who knows what 2018 will bring :-)  Happy New Year to all and to all a good night.
