Kindergarten Field Trip

I got to go along with Delaney on her class field trip this week - to the Sedgwick Co. Zoo and to Botanica.  It was a BEAUTIFUL day for the trip, and we had such a good time!   Delaney was happy to walk around with her friends, Quinli and Elaina, for most of the day.  

Delaney has come a long way from the beginning of the year.  I so vividly remember the tears she left home with for the first couple of weeks of school.  I'm so thankful that she got through that, and now wishes school would last longer!

Thank you, Mrs. Janzen and Mrs. Booton, for a great year!  
The whole class - all 13 of them!

The gorilla got curious about
something inside - I died laughing when he
stood up to peer in!

This orangutan was quite busy!
This chimp went back and forth from standing
to squatting - I could watch them all day!


Our own monkeys - Elaina wasn't quite
sure about those other two!

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)
