Around the House

Here are some random pictures from what we've been up to in February:

Delaney celebrated her 1/2 birthday at pre-school on February 10.  Somehow, none of our kids have birthdays during regular school days.  Caiden's always falls during Spring Break, Cambry's is just a few days after school is out, and Delaney's is just before school starts.

Artist at work:

One of the shows we like to watch is "The Goldberg's."  It takes us down memory lane every week - back to the 80's.  After we watched the episode about "New Kids on the Block," I remembered that I had some of their songs recorded on one of my mixed tapes (also featured a Goldberg's episode).  Sure enough, "Hangin' Tough" is right there on side 1.  We put it in my old tape player, but it didn't last long - the player doesn't work anymore.  Caiden kept asking how to find a different song.  I introduced him to the "fast forward" and "rewind" buttons!  :)


Anna and Elsa have been joining us for meals!


Delaney has really been into gymnastics, so she created a mat (piles of blankets) in our entryway.  She loves to get a running start and tumble away!


She likes to do this trick, too!

And, we've had puppies to play with again.  They are almost 4 weeks old now (much bigger than in this picture), and we only need to find a home for one more!

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...
