Baseball/Softball

It's been a slow start to the baseball and softball season - rain, cancelled games, etc.  But we seem to be off and running now!  Cambry decided to give softball a try this year - her first time being part of a team.  She is loving it!  And she's getting hits - she even scored a run last week.  It's been fun to watch her get better each week.  I still get nervous when she's in the outfield, but she's starting to catch on.





While Cambry has already had 3 games and 4 practices, Caiden has only had 1 real game and only been to 1 practice.  Their poor team is so small that we never know if there will be enough to play a game.  On one hand, it's nice to have a small team so they can all play more innings.   On the other hand, cancelling a game because of lack of numbers is frustrating.  The one game Caiden did have happened to be against his cousin, Ty.  Hesston beat us by a ways, but our 7 boys + 1 fourth grader held their own (after the first inning, anyway).  Despite the slow start, Caiden loves being out there and trying to get better with his pitching.  And it's definitely fun to watch him play!
Ty is swinging at one of Caiden's pitches.  He did get a good hit off of
one of them - much to Caiden's chagrin.






Good sports!

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...
