Basketball Season

It's February - which means basketball has finished for the girls (Cambry - JH manager and Delaney - biddy ball), and is winding down for the third.  Caiden only has about 3 more games this season, and it is amazing how much I am disappointed about that.  We have enjoyed watching Caiden grow and improve this year with his team.  The team as a whole has been fun to watch - they seem to mesh well, play hard, and look like they really enjoy playing the game!

The biddy ball season ended last weekend with some scrimmages due to a couple of games being cancelled because of weather.  Delaney's team scrimmaged the 4th grade girls, and then the 5th grade teams scrimmaged their high school buddies.  Afterwards - donuts for everyone!  We kind of hope this becomes a tradition.  Unfortunately, Delaney's buddy, Kaleigh Guhr was at piano contest so she was unable to be there.  Caiden did have a chance to catch up with his buddy, Dawson, a third grader.

Athena, Elaina, Lydia, Jo, Quinli, Delaney and their
faithful coaches:  Porclein, Chelan, and Caiden
(not sure why Caiden is so serious!)
Best buds!
 The buddies were recognized at a home basketball game - Kaleigh and Delaney, Caiden and Dawson (#36).



Caiden's team won their JV tournament easily this year - that hadn't happened in quite a few years!  They went 3-0!


 That old guy's still got it!

Extra practice after the tourney!
Caiden has a good lay-up at the end of this video:

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...
