Not-So-Spring Break

Well, the kids were on spring break last week, but it was not very "springy" outside!  While it's a little annoying that snow fell in late March, we are grateful (trying to be grateful) for the moisture.  So, what does a family do for spring break when it's cold outside?  We went swimming with friends at a local hotel, watched a lot of basketball, watched a couple of movies, played basketball in the shop, baked, read books, and crafted.  Here are some pictures from last week:
We made chicks and bunnies for an Easter garland
(Family Fun Magazine idea)

pretty paper plate and ribbon rainbows (Highlights Magazine)
It was fun to get out the Poms
Cambry even got Delaney busy on a project

We actually got quite a bit of snow by the next morning - this was
the beginning of it.
Caiden received a clay sculpting kit from his California
cousins just in time for the snowy day (a birthday gift).
This is the tiger he created!
Thank goodness for big sisters!

Cambry spent one day with Grammy and made this pretty
watercolor Easter egg garland

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...

Merry Christmas!

                                          Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning Jesus, to Thee be glory given Word of the Father Now in flesh appearing O come, let us adore Him O come, let us adore Him O come, let us adore Him Christ the Lord! We enjoyed a very relaxing (and strangely warm) Christmas!  The church Christmas Eve program was back in-person (although the kids had recorded their parts early), and we were back at my parents' house afterwards - much different than last year when we met via Zoom.  The only strange thing this year was the weather - mid-70s on Christmas Eve and just slightly cooler on Christmas Day.  We actually ate our lunch outside on Christmas Eve!  We waited until the 28th to celebrate with Chelan's side of the family - minus the CA crew.  Christmas Eve lunch on the deck! gift cards are hard to get to when they are trap...
