Whirlwind of a Week

We definitely had a busy week!  Wheat harvest began, Caiden went to basketball camp in McPherson, and Cambry went to sewing camp in Hesston.  And when we arrived home at noon each day, harvest was in full swing!  While I prefer our family not to be pulled in so many directions, it was fun to see them both doing things they enjoy!  

Sewing Camp:
Backyard studio!

Brittni Rhodes - Cambry's instructor - helping the girls
with material for their aprons.
She was in her element this week!
The girls on their last day - with all their projects: pillows,
skirts, headbands, ruffle aprons, and hoop hangers.
Thank you, Brittni, for teaching Cambry this
week - through the good and the challenging
times (there were definitely some of those)!

The grandmothers' inspections!
Meanwhile in McPherson:
Ready for one-on-one
They battled hard!
They looked things over!
They made attempts!

And sometimes scored!
There were even awards - Caiden won the one-on-one tournament and he was "most improved 7th grader!"  I saw him gain a lot of confidence this week!
Maybe the best part was playing with these other three guys:
Joseph Schrag, Landon Kauffman (both from
Moundridge), and Ty
And what did Delaney and I do?  One morning, we went on the book walk at Dyck Arboretum in Hesston.  She wasn't sure about it at first, but the challenge of getting to the end of the book got her going - it was pretty HOT for 9:30 a.m.!

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)
