Delaney Turns 3!

There is no doubt about it - Delaney was definitely looking forward to her birthday this year!  She told all kinds of people about all kinds of things that she wanted!  She was excited for her "party" and kept double-checking who was going to be there (just family, of course) and telling everyone about her butterfly cake.  True to form, she was a hoot that evening!

We're so thankful for the joy and delight she has brought to our family these past 3 years.  We love you, Delaney!
We had a lot of pink things in the house - including
these "Naked Ladies" of "Surprise Lilies" as
my mom calls them.
New dress-up clothes!
New goggles from Grandpa!
What have we gotten ourselves into with a
microphone?  As if she isn't loud enough on her own!
Pink butterfly cake
Addi and Cale rigged up this tire swing - what fun that has been ever since!
And here is an example of our entertainment from the evening - Delaney is belting out some Mumford & Sons:

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)
