Ready for November!

I erased our October calendar yesterday, and was happy to say good-bye to it!  Lots of busy-ness and lots of commitments that are over with for now.  We had a good month, don't get me wrong!  I just had many things I seemed to be in charge of and they all took place within 2 weeks of each other:  planning the 3rd grade Halloween party, getting publicity out about our women's brunch at church, planning our MomTime gathering at church, coordinating a gift for the first grade teacher whose father passed away, and then throw in a couple of subbing days and my great uncle's funeral to attend.  I could have gone to my cousin's wedding in MO, too!

My brain was on planning overload - so much so that I forgot that our 10th anniversary is today!  I happened to see the date on an e-mail this morning and mentioned it to Chelan, who had also forgotten!  Good thing we're going to Dallas/Ft. Worth next weekend to celebrate.  Otherwise, I would have been disappointed!  

So far, the calendar for November is pretty empty.  Unless, you take into consideration that I have to plan for when Chelan and I are gone next weekend and that Shammi is supposed to have puppies around Thanksgiving and that Caiden may have some basketball practices (if they find a coach - Chelan's not convinced he wants to do that, but I think he's the last option)!

Maybe November is just as busy - bring it on, I guess!

Here are some pictures from Halloween:




Halloween parade at school
Nice costume, huh?  He doesn't get into
Halloween very much - kind of like me.
So, I finally told him he could be a K-State
fan.  The hat and jersey were the only
things we had, though.
Delaney was supposed to be a tiger, but she finally
decided to be a ballerina.  She danced for practically
everyone she saw at church that night!
Everyday is Halloween for her!
Cambry thought her pumpkin needed her fireman's hat!

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)
