April 2017

It's May!  School is out (so, so early)!  And I haven't posted anything since before Easter!  So many small events have happened, so I will try to catch up.  First - Easter!  I have such very random pictures from this day:



Ty got a little excited and pulled his
basket off the roof without the rest!
The annual "Epp" pic


Next - MAYB:  Caiden played with on a basketball team made up of Hillsboro and Hesston boys, plus him.  He had a great experience and gained a lot of confidence during their three tournaments. That was the goal!  A big thank-you to his coaches:  Damion and Micah Ratzlaff of Hillsboro.  They were such good influences and Caiden got along with them extremely well (wish they were in the pic)!
L to R: Caiden, Ty, Frank, Ryan, Breckyn, Grayson, Max
Next up:  Chelan had a birthday!
I think that's all for April!

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...
