Moving On

Just as Caiden moves on into middle school, two of his cousins are moving on to high school!  We had fun attending Cale's and Addi's 8th grade promotions last week.  Cale has almost 200 students in his class!  And Addi has almost 70 - both quite a bit larger than what we're used to!  After hearing all those names called, Cambry decided she's happy to have 20 in her class.  :)

It's been neat to watch these kids grow up and develop their gifts and talents.  Addi is quite a swimmer, a creative and artistic genius, and a very easy-going, kind young lady!  And Cale, it seems, will try almost anything - from setting up and running his own snow cone business to designing and wiring up a sound system for Grandpa's mailbox.  He seems to have a knack for problem-solving!  Addison and Cale, we are looking forward to seeing what God has in store for in the next few years.  One thing is sure - great things are coming your way!

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...
