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!

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...
