Days of Painting

Cale and Mace came over last week for a little "work date."  Corral fences needed painting and the squeeze chute was needing a new coat of paint.  So, with three boys, one grandpa, and one Chelan - they got to work.  I wouldn't say this was tops on their list for favorite summer activities, but after some teaching, listening, reteaching, more listening, and paint everywhere (and all over them) - they did accomplish one coat of paint on the squeeze chute and finished the long section of the fence.  Caiden was much more willing with cousins around to help.  The job isn't finished yet, but slowly, it will get done - much to Caiden's delight (not).  

Thanks to Trissa for coming out to help on the second day - such a good daughter to come help her dad!  I have to admit I stayed away from the painting - I found plenty to do inside!








It was HOT and STEAMY - this was Mace's solution!

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.

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...
