Delaney Turns 6!

The day after we got home from our vacation, we squeezed in Delaney's 6th birthday!  (It's a good thing we had the gifts taken care of before our trip)!  A few days later, we celebrated with family.  We gave her a tumbling mat and a new leotard, along with a Lego-themed alarm clock - just in time for school beginning this week!  She also received some new books and clothes, "teaching" supplies (for her "classes"), and some craft projects from her aunts/uncles/cousins/grandmas/grandpas.

At 6 years old, Delaney:
-is highly-motivated by goals and challenges
-is READING!
-is enjoying gymnastics (she's moving up a level this fall)
-loves playing with her sister, especially their "Lego Game"
-still hasn't lost any teeth!
-can make anything into a game

Delaney, you may be our youngest, but you bring quite a balance to this family.  We love you!




Had to buy a cake this year, but she thought that was kind
of neat!  (whew)!
cartwheeling all the time!

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)
