Post-Harvest Meal

In our family, it is a tradition to have a post-harvest meal together.  It's a way to celebrate after the last loads have been cut and carted off.  Usually, this happens within a couple of days and we end up at Applebee's.  This year, however, we had to wait a couple of weeks for the schedule to clear up.  And, we went somewhere new!  

Chelan's second cousin, Shasta, lives in Enterprise, KS with her family.  They recently opened up a small restaurant called "The Buggy Stop."  Her family lives an Amish lifestyle, and their menu features some great home-style food:  homemade bread (loaves for sale on Wednesdays), homemade cinnamon rolls, homemade cookies.  Last night we had 2 choices for dinner:  BBQ boneless ribs or Bacon Jack Chicken Breast.  It was all so fantastic and so laid-back!  We enjoyed catching up with her and her family.  They have 6 children - the younger ones were eating while we ate, and the older ones were across the street selling some produce at a little farmer's market.  I think they all play a part in that little restaurant - it's definitely a family affair!  We recommend that you make the drive out there and try it.  Thanks, Shasta and Michael, for a great meal!

Since we had never been to Enterprise before, we drove around a little bit.  They do have two claims to fame:
Of course, I had to take this picture with our soon-to-be Kindergartener!
Can you read the sign?  It says "Temperance Leader Carry A. Nation Smashed Bar in this Building, January 23, 1901, Erected 1993
It was a nice evening, and it was definitely good to take the kids someplace new!

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!

Cousin Week

We declared last week "Cousin Week" and went to see Cale, Mace, and Ty play football.  We also watched Addi play volleyball.  Three of those events were on the same day!  I'm sure the girls feel like they have seen enough football to last a long time.  Little do they know - Caiden will be playing in 2 short years and they will have to sit through a lot more of those! We did enjoy watching each one - watching their strengths come through, watching them interact with teammates and coaches.  They are all growing up - just like our own three keep doing!  How does that happen?? Now, if only we could magically appear in California for the other cousins' sports endeavors! Addi - already an 8th grader! Ty, a 5th grader - far right Good teammate Mace, also a 5th grader - #6 Cale, an 8th grader.  #83 (white shirt)
