SKY!

Last week was quite a week!  Being on a committee in charge of VBS is a lot of work, but after it's all said and done, I have to say it's worth it.  We had a fantastic week learning to TRUST GOD!  On Sunday, we had our children's program where the kids sang the songs from the week.  The music was awesome this year - a mix of new theme songs, worship songs, and old gospels and hymns like "I'll Fly Away" and "Christ Arose."

After the program, we always have a meal and activities outside on the church campus.  Cambry couldn't stop talking about the cotton candy (you know, like clouds), and Caiden had fun with the organized activities - especially the water balloon toss.  It was such a great day!

Now that swimming lessons, wheat harvest, and VBS are all over, it's time to begin the slow, relaxing portion of our summer!

We had about 75 kids during the week - there were probably
about 65 there on Sunday.  This song is "You, You, You"
That's why they are pointing.
Myra and Delaney spent the week in the nursery
together.  They were supposed to be
hugging each other, but unfortunately,
it looks like Delaney is strangling Myra!

This will be one of those great 8th grade graduation pictures someday!

How happy are they?

Delaney somehow snagged this bat from one of the
games and did not part with it all afternoon!  She
likes to jump - which is what she's doing in
this picture.
It was a good kite-flying day!

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!

Merry Christmas!

                                          Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning Jesus, to Thee be glory given Word of the Father Now in flesh appearing O come, let us adore Him O come, let us adore Him O come, let us adore Him Christ the Lord! We enjoyed a very relaxing (and strangely warm) Christmas!  The church Christmas Eve program was back in-person (although the kids had recorded their parts early), and we were back at my parents' house afterwards - much different than last year when we met via Zoom.  The only strange thing this year was the weather - mid-70s on Christmas Eve and just slightly cooler on Christmas Day.  We actually ate our lunch outside on Christmas Eve!  We waited until the 28th to celebrate with Chelan's side of the family - minus the CA crew.  Christmas Eve lunch on the deck! gift cards are hard to get to when they are trap...
