First Day!

All day yesterday Cambry kept exclaiming, "I can't wait for tomorrow!"  She's been so eager to start Kindergarten and Caiden has been so reluctant to start 2nd grade (at least he acts like he doesn't want to go - I think it's just a show)!  Last night, we went over the morning schedule again:  wake up, get dressed, breakfast, brush teeth, do hair (a new addition for school mornings - Caiden was so easy)!   I thought it would be hard for them to go to sleep, but they fell asleep almost immediately.

Chelan woke the kids up this morning - a surprise for them.  We're all getting up before Chelan leaves for work - quite a change!  We had our traditional back-to-school cinnamon rolls.  Well, everyone but Cambry.  She has to have cereal in the mornings!  Then, it was off to the end of the driveway. 

After they had gotten on the bus and I was walking, I suddenly realized that I hadn't thought to give Cambry a hug or had time to tear up about her going to Kdg.  She was so excited to hop on the bus, I almost didn't have time to get a picture.  I'm so happy she was excited - I guess it made sending her off a little easier!

The sun was barely peaking over the hill as we walked up the driveway


I love this picture - it captures how they both feel about going to school!

We have a new bus driver this year - Sarah Simington.  She's very friendly, and I think the kids will love her!

I caught him smiling!

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)
