Winter . . .

I'm done with winter -- I go through this every year! True, we've only had 1 actual snow, with another on the way. It's actually been a lot more tolerable than last winter. But, there have been 3 snow days now -- THREE! I'm going to be completely honest -- having all 3 kids at home when 2 of them are supposed to be in school is a bit much! I told Chelan the other day that he has no idea how much I look forward to Tuesdays and Thursdays (pre-school days). Guess when all 3 of our snow days have happened?

Maybe I would be having a bit more patience with winter if last weekend hadn't been in the 70's -- THE 70's!! I was riding my bike in pants and a t-shirt. It was such a tease.

In the midst of these winter blues, however, I have come up with a few things I'm thankful for (I had to). . .
1. That I don't live on the east coast this winter!
2. That we do have the beauty of spring to look forward to in just a couple of months.
3. That I have 3 beautiful children to drive me crazy on snow days!

    I so wish you could all come over tomorrow, but I guess that defeats the purpose of a snow day - to stay off of the roads! Just don't plan to get anything done and give the children many hugs from Grammy/Papa.

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)
