More Snow!

Believe it or not, we ended up having 4 snow days in a row - amazing!  We actually handled them pretty well, but I'm weary of bundling up a 2 year old only to have her make it outside for about 3 minutes.  Luckily, Caiden and Cambry are old enough to get dressed on their own.  And Caiden and I got pretty good at starting fires in the shop stove so we could play basketball!  A second snowstorm blew in on Monday afternoon, and the result was absolutely beautiful when we woke up on Tuesday morning!  It was a much wetter snow and it piled up on everything.  I'm also including pictures from some sledding over the weekend.  Caiden hit the hills, but Cambry was content to watch!



A Winter Wonderland
This is the fence around our chicken pen
Sledding with his cousin, Mace.  They were working on building a jump!
I know the cows are made for the outdoors, but I still feel sorry
for them in weather like this - well maybe not the cows so much
as the new baby calves!  I took this picture for the trees
in the background.
The piles of bladed snow are like mountains!
This snow was good for snowballs!
Even Delaney tried her hand with the snowballer!

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)
