Busy Friday

We have had one day of "summer" and it feels like we've done so much!  

We went to the library first thing Friday morning because the kids had been cut off from the school library for a week.  They were actually counting down the days until they could go - Chelan wonders if this is normal!  We actually were part of a record-setting day - 62 patrons visited the library on Friday (that's small town living for you)!  

Caiden has been busy mowing.

We moved Cambry into Delaney's room (it will be a work in progress for a while).

I sat down to give Cambry a little sewing lesson.  Admittedly, I'm probably the least qualified person to be doing this (I've sewed exactly 3 valances and 1 pillowcase in my adulthood), but one of the blogs I follow had a "Sewing with Kids" series.  The first lesson was to have her follow a maze and do a dot-to-dot with just the needle, no thread.  I figured I could handle that!  At least she can become familiar with the basics.  She LOVED it!   Here's the link:  Skip To My Lou

Arriving home on the last day of school
Caiden was pretty excited about that tote he's
carrying - it's filled with s'mores ingredients!  He
won it for being the boy with the most
Accelerated Reader points in the school.
Newly-Retired Grandpa was even waiting for the kids!

If you look closely, it's supposed to be a

New roommates!  They think it's neat that Cambry sleeps where
Uncle Treg used to sleep, and Delaney is on the side of the room
where Dad used to sleep!

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)
