Girls' Night Out

After we dropped off Caiden at camp last Thursday, Cambry, my sister, and my niece all headed to Wichita for an evening out.  We had a really good time despite Cambry coming down with a bad cold.  She hung in there with us, sometimes crying because she missed Caiden (a totally unexpected reaction), sometimes laughing with joy, and most of the time, coughing!

I was realized how little I take her shopping with me.  Everything seemed like a brand new experience to her!  She wanted everything in the stores.  I might have broken down and bought her a pen that she wanted! We ate at Panera Bread for supper - a favorite of mine and my sister and niece!  Cambry thought it was so funny when they said our name over the loudspeaker and then continued to giggle every time she heard someone else's name called!  Oh, it's the little things!  I'll have to do that more often with her.
fun sunglasses at Old Navy!
Yummy strawberry ice cream with Oreo Cookies mixed in.  This
proved to be a messy experience!

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)
