Caiden turns 6!

We can't believe 6 years have passed already! I told Chelan the other day, "In another 6years he'll be 12! Will it really go this fast?" He, of course, assured me it would! Caiden had a pretty good birthday week: bowling with the Epp side, going to Build-a-Bear Workshop with his cousin Ty for both of their birthdays (he carries his fire dog, Drip, everywhere he goes now!), and haing a friend over to play on his actual birthday.

Some of Caiden's favorite things at 6 years old are: blue, green, purple, red (all dark colors, he says), riding his bike, helping Dad,working in his sandbox, and Cale, Mace, and Ty (his 3 close-by cousins)

We love you, buddy!


A newborn 6 years ago!




A soccer cake -- of course Chelan did most of the decorating!


Since Caiden's birthday was during spring break, we told him he could have a friend from school over to play. They had a good time with Caiden's new remote control car, the train track, and playing outside.


The Feb./March birthdays on the Epp side -- Ty, Caiden, Noah, Rylee, and Addi. What a great time we had bowling together!

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!

Merry Christmas!

                                          Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning Jesus, to Thee be glory given Word of the Father Now in flesh appearing O come, let us adore Him O come, let us adore Him O come, let us adore Him Christ the Lord! We enjoyed a very relaxing (and strangely warm) Christmas!  The church Christmas Eve program was back in-person (although the kids had recorded their parts early), and we were back at my parents' house afterwards - much different than last year when we met via Zoom.  The only strange thing this year was the weather - mid-70s on Christmas Eve and just slightly cooler on Christmas Day.  We actually ate our lunch outside on Christmas Eve!  We waited until the 28th to celebrate with Chelan's side of the family - minus the CA crew.  Christmas Eve lunch on the deck! gift cards are hard to get to when they are trap...
