Another Teenager in the House!

As a 7th grader, Cambry had the opportunity to attend Camp WaShunGa - our community's church camp for JH students.  While she was not overly excited about going, she did have a good time.  While she was there, she turned 13!  She left as a twelve-year-old and returned a teenager!  She was excited to celebrate with us when she returned - on  Memorial Day.

She does things her own way, goes with the flow, has quite a free and playful spirit, and seems to be a friend to those who need it. In fact, her classmates awarded her the "Marie Curie Award" in my class for:  "looking beyond a person's appearance or social status to the real person inside."  We certainly hope this trait continues!  (BTW, Curie is credited with developing the X-ray machine; hence, "looking beyond.")  :)

Welcome to your teens, Cambry!

One of Cambry's gifts from us was a halter for her calf, Tucker.  We recently gave her the responsibility of feeding and caring for this calf, one from a set of twins that was born this spring. She has embraced this task and is now working on getting the halter on so she can lead it around - a good summer project!

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...
