Another Year Begins

Yesterday marked the first day of another new school year - 1st and 3rd grades!  No tears shed, just excited, slightly nervous children.  The day before school, Cambry wasn't sure she really wanted to go back, but yesterday morning she said, "During the night I decided I want to go!"

All reports were good when they got home - the first news being, "Mom, we're almost the first ones off the bus!"  That is big news since they are quite used to being one of the first on in the morning and last off after school.   Cambry told me there are 2 new children in her class.  Caiden was excited because he's sitting next to Logan and Jacob - two of his good friends.  Of course my response was, "Are you sure you can handle it?"  Once a teacher, always a teacher, I guess!

I've been looking forward to quieter days with Delaney.  I wondered how Delaney would respond to them being gone all day.   It took her a while, but mid-morning she asked, "Where Caiden go?  Where Cambry go?"  She really had quite a strange day - much clingier and whinier than normal.   However, I think she may be working on some teeth, so that may have contributed to her behavior.  

Here's to a great year!

We have another new bus driver this year.  His name
is Morris, and he's actually our pastor's husband.
Cambry, of course, found a flower in the pasture to
give him.  She's always so thoughtful!
He's actually smiling - kind of!

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)
