Playing Catch-Up

I guess I haven't blogged in over 3 months - it's time to play catch-up:

August/Sept.:  We were busy on Thursday nights with both football and volleyball this year.  Most nights, Cambry played at the same time as Caiden, so we had to hop around a bit!  Caiden's team did well - they finished 4-3.  He got to play a little bit of everything this year:  quarterback, guard, some other positions I don't know the names of, and I even saw him kickoff a couple of times.  Cambry's team did well too!  They even finished 2nd at the Hesston C team tournament (to Goessel's B Team)!  She did really enjoy it and plans on playing again next year. 

These fb pics are from the scrimmage at the beginning of the year:

Cambry qualified for the State Fair in both foods and clothing.  We had to find time to fit in baking molasses cookies during the school week - not an easy task.  She ended up with a red on those.  Her pants, however, received a purple!  We were so proud of her and took a trip to the fair to see them in person!




Fun on the train - always my favorite!

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)
