A "Small" Problem

Have you ever gotten a moth stuck in your ear?  Well, Chelan has!  Last night he came in from the shop and informed me that a moth had flown into his ear!  Really??  How does a moth find a person's ear!  I could hear it fluttering about in his ear canal, and he could feel it burrowing in and it apparently was very painful!  In fact, I heard more cussing from him last night than I have ever heard in our 9 years together!  :) 

Anyway, after I tried and tried and tried to get it with a tweezers and worrying that I was going to poke somewhere I shouldn't, we started dumping peroxide in his ear - to drown it, maybe?  We were in unfamiliar territory!  I was just about ready to take him to the ER when I noticed a little something moving in his ear.  Thankfully, I was able to pull the thing out - alive!  Chelan insisted on taking a picture of it, and then I he took care of it! 

So, if you ever get a moth stuck in your ear, I guess we can offer some advice on how to get it out!
The culprit!

    Dad went to the Dr. to have a moth pulled out of his ear - and the Dr. taped it to his medical record!

    Wow. Really? Wow. I can just see Chelan madder than a hornet (or a drowning moth)!

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)
