Day 1

We're back to Day 1!  The first day of this school year came and went in a flash!  Pictures were a bit of an afterthought, but we got them accomplished.  You can see Caiden is "thrilled," Cambry is a little unsure, and Delaney is as excited as can be!

This will be a different year - 2 in the jr. high and only 1 at the grade school.  Getting Cambry going with this new routine has been an adjustment.  She had two-a-day vb practices leading up to the first day of school, so she was already tired before it even began!  After one week of practices, I can already see she is stronger - our main goal for her with volleyball.  The trick this year will be keeping her organized. As an 8th grader, Caiden has it all figured out, of course!  ;)  As far as football goes, it sounds like there is a quarterback battle brewing.  He would really like to play quarterback, but being one of the bigger guys out there, he may have to be on the line.  We'll see how he responds, either way!  Our little 2nd grader is just excited about her teacher and seeing her friends again - nothing very new for her.

While this is my 2nd year back to teaching, things still seem very new.  In fact, teaching 8th grade language arts is a new addition to my schedule.  It ups my total number of students to 75!  My grading process may need to be adjusted or that is all I'll be doing this school year!

So far so good after two days!  We'll see what the rest of this year brings!

2nd grade, peace, or "K"?

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)
