What We've Been Up To

A combination of winter weather and sickness have kept us indoors this past week.  We were able to get out to Grandma and Grandpa's house and to my sister's house for Thanksgiving, but other than that, we've cooped ourselves up in the house.  So, what have we been doing?

We gave our lone puppy a bath so my niece could puppy-sit until the owners can pick him up next week:
Here is my niece - she's taking her job very seriously!
Cambry has been crafting.  She made a bunch of these little tops out of necklace pieces - and they work!
Then, she made a place mat . . .
The nativity sets have been found:
We decorated our Christmas tree. Caiden wasn't so into it, but he put up a few ornaments.  The girls, however, went through their boxes of ornaments and looked at every single one:







Chelan and I also got an invitation to a "Bake Sale."  When we went downstairs, we found a table all set up with a buffet line of cupcakes, doughnuts, cookies, and even a cake!



Cambry wasn't so happy because she ended up last in line and then was left with a lemon doughnut AND a lemon cupcake.  They take their playing pretty seriously!  :)

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...
