Busy Days

October is very busy on the farm - wheat to be sown, soybeans to be harvested, and milo to cut.  Not to mention bringing the cows home from the pastures and getting ready to feed them at home.  Yesterday, Chelan sowed wheat all day!  Caiden actually helped to load the drill with wheat before Chelan took off for the fields.  Chelan was thrilled with the very straight rows in the field (due to the new GPS system on the tractor).  He and Caiden enjoyed some bonding in the tractor for a few hours in the afternoon while they listened to the K-State game (an awesome K-State win, by the way).  By 8:30 p.m., Chelan was back home and watched most of the game on TV (which I had taped)!  All in all, a good great day!

2007 - Caiden was 3, Cambry was 1

2011 - Caiden is 7 and old enough to help


Straight rows!

Discussing things in the dark - we finally made it out to see Chelan around 7 p.m.

Dancing on the drill?

Happy to see Dad!

Surprise!

Well, I sure don't get surprised very often, but Saturday night was a huge surprise to me! I thought I was heading to Hesston for an AGCO Christmas Dinner with Chelan. He told me we needed to drop something off at Ben and Tina's house (my cousin), first. Okay, no big deal! While we were there, Ben said they were about ready to go out for dinner, did we want to come along? Surprisingly, Chelan thought about it and wanted to do it (clue #1 that something was up). I kept saying that we couldn't skip out on his dinner, but Chelan insisted that going to Wichita for dinner would be much more fun. I even said, "This seems like something you had planned!" However, I'm always up for dinner in Wichita, so I agreed, reluctantly!! We enjoyed a meal at Hangar 1 Steakhouse and I thought that was the end of it. But, on the way home, Chelan asked if we could go by the new arena since the inaugural concert was there that night -- Brad Paisley! I thought it would be f...

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...
