11 Months

In just one short month, our little Delaney will be a 1 year old! Holey Moley - how the time flies! She's taking steps - usually 3 or 4 at a time, but crawling is still preferred because it's much faster. She doesn't stay still for more than 30 seconds at a time (unless she's eating)so we're constantly on the move - it's exhausting! Since it continues to be HOT, we fill her little wading pool up now and then, and she LOVES it! She loves to crawl in and out of it and splash around. I'm so glad she likes the water. At the beginning of the summer, I didn't know how she would handle swimming. Every time she got splashed there was crying. These days, she could care less about someone splashing her. Yay for cold water to play in!
Our new favorite game: "SO BIG!"


I thought this picture was funny - "Look at my muscles!"

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...

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...
