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!

Surprise!

Well, I sure don't get surprised very often, but Saturday night was a huge surprise to me! I thought I was heading to Hesston for an AGCO Christmas Dinner with Chelan. He told me we needed to drop something off at Ben and Tina's house (my cousin), first. Okay, no big deal! While we were there, Ben said they were about ready to go out for dinner, did we want to come along? Surprisingly, Chelan thought about it and wanted to do it (clue #1 that something was up). I kept saying that we couldn't skip out on his dinner, but Chelan insisted that going to Wichita for dinner would be much more fun. I even said, "This seems like something you had planned!" However, I'm always up for dinner in Wichita, so I agreed, reluctantly!! We enjoyed a meal at Hangar 1 Steakhouse and I thought that was the end of it. But, on the way home, Chelan asked if we could go by the new arena since the inaugural concert was there that night -- Brad Paisley! I thought it would be f...

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...
