What a Day!

As if this week wasn't strange enough already, Chelan and I woke up to Caiden being sick in the bathroom at 2:00 a.m. He continued to throw up during the night, so Chelan stayed home with him and Cambry (strange thing #1). Originally, Caiden was supposed to go to Kdg. Screening today at 1:15. We didn't think he'd be up for it, but by about 10:00 a.m. Chelan said he was jumping on the furniture and eating. So, I called to see if he could still go to Kdg. screening and they said yes, but to come as soon as we could. School was being dismissed at 1:00 (strange thing #2), and the workers there wanted to get home, too. I rushed over there after I was finished with my last group of kids, and it was sleeting. (strange thing #3 -- come on, it's March 27) When I got there, I saw Cambry in pajama bottoms and a sweatshirt. What? Really, weren't there other pants to put on her? :) Chelan left to go to Hesston, so I stayed until the screening was over. Then, we finally got to come home, although it was 2 hours earlier than normal (strange thing #4). I think I'm ready for a more normal week. We could really use prayers that our family stays healthy. The kids and I have really had it here the last few weeks!

On a happier note, Cambry and I had fun in the snow while Caiden slept this afternoon. She loved walking along the driveway in the HUGE snowflakes! And yes, she is still in her pajama pants in these pictures! Really though, I owe my husband big time for staying home today. This is the 3rd time in 3 weeks that he has taken care of the kids when I couldn't!

Choosing Trust Over Fear

I have struggled with writing about the shooting in Hesston - in fact, I wasn't going to post anything about it.  However, for the sake of memories, I decided I should at least touch on it.  It does deserve a place. It just hit so close to home - particularly since Doug was directly involved.  Honestly, I sometimes feel guilty for struggling with this tragedy.  I wasn't there, I didn't lose anyone close to me, and, although I know a few people who work there, I didn't know any of the victims.  And I get to move on with my life with little disruption.  I feel like I am on the outside looking in.   But I guess that's okay.  I didn't have to be directly involved for this to touch me.  My heart is sad for the families of those who died, for those who were injured, for those who witnessed it, for my brother-in-law who will probably replay images over and over, for my sister and my niece and nephew who might sometimes wonder "what if?", for th...

NCAA Division 1 Volleyball Championships

Chelan and I took Delaney to Kansas City for the championship game of the NCAA Volleyball Tournament - a birthday gift given to her in August. What a cool experience! From posing with the trophy to testing her vertical (6th place for all girls who tried!), to watching the match between Texas A&M and Kentucky, to a real life reindeer in the arena, we had a fun day!

Cousin Week

We declared last week "Cousin Week" and went to see Cale, Mace, and Ty play football.  We also watched Addi play volleyball.  Three of those events were on the same day!  I'm sure the girls feel like they have seen enough football to last a long time.  Little do they know - Caiden will be playing in 2 short years and they will have to sit through a lot more of those! We did enjoy watching each one - watching their strengths come through, watching them interact with teammates and coaches.  They are all growing up - just like our own three keep doing!  How does that happen?? Now, if only we could magically appear in California for the other cousins' sports endeavors! Addi - already an 8th grader! Ty, a 5th grader - far right Good teammate Mace, also a 5th grader - #6 Cale, an 8th grader.  #83 (white shirt)
