Family Fun at KSU

Football season has arrived!  We headed up to K-State for the first home football game - most of us excitedly, but one, rather reluctantly (Cambry wasn't thrilled with the idea).  Thanks to the Jr. Wildcat Club that Caiden belongs to, we had pretty decent seats for a really great price.  It was warm - very warm!  But that didn't stop Delaney from cheering with her pompoms the ENTIRE game.  Seriously, she only sat down for about 30-45 minutes of the almost 4 hour game.  It was quite something!

Our own little tailgate before heading to the stadium!
Watching the warm-up

For four years, we've been watching Weston Hiebert, our hometown guy, play for the Wildcats.  He went from walking on as a freshman and getting gray-shirted, to suiting up and standing on the sidelines at home games, to making it into a game 2 years ago and starting every game ever since.  Now, in his fifth year, he is one of 6 captains on the team.  Talk about dedication and hard work!  He was featured on the tickets for this game and on the program.  It was so cool to see Goessel, KS printed under his name!  We're definitely going to miss watching him play next year.

Classic stance!

A new high five - the "claw five"

Delaney found a new cheerleading friend!
  All in all, a fun night - with fireworks to top it all off!  Thank you, football season, for arriving!

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!

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...
