Adventures in Carpet Cleaning

We've reached a milestone in this house - there will never be any more babies in this house who spit up all over the place - including the living room carpet!  To celebrate, we had our carpet cleaned!  Oh, I had tried my hand at spot cleaning.  I even tried a home mixture of hydrogen peroxide and ammonia (it sort-of worked).  There's only so much one can do, though, with carrot, cereal, squash, and milk spit-up.  And we can't forget the giant vomit stain by our couch from last March.  Caiden really did a number on that spot!  I wish I had a "before" picture, but anyone who has been in our house, probably knows that it was less than desirable!   A guy from Supreme Flooring in Hillsboro came by, and after 2 hours, I think it's safe to say that our living room looks clean again.  It's amazing how refreshing it feels to have a clean carpet.  I don't even mind the upheavel the rest of our house is in because of it!

Our entryway is a little tight!  And we have a rocking chair in our kitchen.  It made for an interesting day.

Thank goodness it was nice outside!  The deck became Delaney-central!

Look - spotfree!  For now . . .

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)
