Last weekend we took all 16 members of our family on a ski trip. It was amazing, and we are incredibly lucky. We haven’t done such a thing in 17 years, when our first grandchild, Claire, was only one month old. Life gets complex and 17 years fly by.

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows.... But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.—Rocky Balboa
