Snow Days!

We enjoyed 2 snow days at home last Thursday and Friday.  Chelan even got called off of work - that never happens!  Over 12 inches of snow sure shuts down a lot of plans for everyone!  We did so many things that I made a collage for each day.  Here's a list of things we did - can you find them all?  You may have to open them in a new window to see all of them.  It sounds like another round is coming tomorrow evening - will we actually have 3 snow days in a row?

Snowballs
Dancing Shows
Lego's
Zwieback baking
Snow Angels
Indoor snowman experiment
Chelan busy clearing off snow with the tractor
Cuddling with new blankets from Great Aunt Kathy

Exploring the farm yard - amazed at how the cows handle the cold and snow!
Checking on cows and new calves
Choring the chickens who have to remain indoors
chopping ice so the chickens can drink
Finding that a grain bin with snow on top looks a little like a giant cupcake

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)
