Baby Boden

Yesterday, Chelan's brother, Treg, called to say their 3rd baby boy arrived!  He was about 2 weeks early, so it was a little bit of a surprise - although their babies do seem to come early!  March 1st should be easy to remember, though.  They just missed having a leap day baby and also narrowly missed sharing a birthday with his cousin, Cale!  We're so excited to have a new nephew and cousin to play with.  His name is Boden - I love that name.  I'm sure he will be well-loved by his 2 older brothers, Chayce and Finn.

At this point, all we know is his name and how much he weighs.  We still haven't seen any pictures of him.  It's always difficult living so far away from them (they are in California), but it's especially hard at times like these.  We can't just drive over to the hospital to see little Boden.  We're crossing our fingers that it works out for them to come to KS this summer, but you never know!

Cambry keeps saying, "I can't wait for them to come DOWN from California!"  Whenever she talks about them coming here or us going there, she always talks about coming DOWN.  I think I finally figured it out.  Since we go UP in the airplane to see them, she thinks California is UP in the sky somewhere.  Somehow, she missed the landing part of the airplane ride.  She has discussed this with me on several occasions, and I find it quite hysterical!

Welcome to the world, baby Boden!  We can't wait to meet you!

*UPDATE*  We got a picture today!

    He was born on Mackenna's birthday! I'm sure you wish you could see him and hold him!

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)
