Our New Kitten

About 3 weeks ago, Chelan's sister discovered a kitten at the farm who seemed to be going up to anyone or anything - as if looking for its mother or for food or something.  She brought it back here and gave it some milk, and as soon as I heard about it, I went to track it down at the farm and brought it back here for good.

We think something happened to its mother because we haven't seen it since finding the kitten.  As soon as I saw the poor thing, I knew it needed help - especially since it came right up to me.  The kittens on the farm never come up to people!

So, we've been enjoying a new friend on our deck.  He's definitely perked up, his tummy is filling out, a gray tomcat has befriended it, and I think he's going to be just fine!
I found Delaney reading a story to the kitten the other day.  As long
as the screen separated her from it, things were okay.  She's not
very fond of the kitten's claws!  I know I have a picture of
me doing this same thing when I was little, but I just haven't
had time to find it!

His tomcat friend, Dustnight

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)
