MCC Sale

This last weekend was the Kansas MCC Sale -- yeah! We didn't go last year, so we made a point of attending this one! We managed to wait in the long line at "Feeding the Multitude," played in the kids' area, perused the quilts and other auction items, and of course, ate new year's cookies! The kids each brought $5 from their banks to spend in the Kids' Corner. I didn't even mind them coming home with more "stuff" because I know their money will be used to help lots of people through MCC. If you want more info. on the Kansas sale, go to: www.kansas.mccsale.org


Our table at supper. I so wish I had a picture of the long line. Remarkably, it moves pretty fast. We sure enjoyed our verenika, cherry moos, zwieback, sausage, and pie. We even had room for new year's cookies later!


Cambry had a blast on the obstacle course moonbounce!


Playing mini golf at the Pride of Kansas building. Caiden would have stayed here all night! Next year, we hope to attend the children's auction on Saturday morning!

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)
