Off They Go!

bright and early at 6:52 a.m.
Here it is - the first day of a new school year.  It feels like everything is new this year:  Caiden is in a new building with practices after school, Cambry is in the "big kids'" hall at the grade school, and Delaney is beginning Kindergarten. Oh, and I am suddenly a para at the high school in the mornings. Can a transition get much bigger?  Probably, but this one felt pretty big!

One of the best "new" thing is that we are ALL up and at 'em in the morning - no more tiptoe-ing around while Delaney sleeps on.  I've been waiting 6 years for this and it is so refreshing!

The morning at home went smoothly, my responsibilities at school went smoothly, and hopefully the kids' days at school went well.  Delaney's teacher said there were some tears during the morning - I think mainly around p.e. time.  But Delaney tells me that p.e. was her favorite part, so . . .  We'll see what tomorrow brings!

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)
