Delaney's Brother and Sister

I really can't say enough about how impressed I've been with Caiden and Cambry since Delaney was born almost 4 weeks ago. I have to admit, I was expecting extra crying, whining, and even potty training regression from our 4 year old. However, it's been the complete opposite. Caiden adores his baby sister and squeezes in as much time with her as possible in the evenings. Cambry continues to be my diaper helper - racing off to get a diaper and wipes for every change. They smother her with kisses and squeezes, (even when she's asleep -- much to my chagrin (sp?))! Cambry hasn't had a single potty accident since Delaney arrived -- quite the opposite of what we experienced this summer before her arrival! Tonight, Caiden even got Cambry's bath ready for her since I was feeding Delaney. He seems so grown up all of a sudden!

At bedtime, the kids always ask if Delaney can come up for story and prayers. She has to take a turn on each of their beds before we take her back down -- so sweet! We can't wait until she can return the love back to them!

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...
