Fall Activities Abound

With three kids in three different buildings, we felt the busyness of the fall season!  Fridays were for football, Thursdays were for JH volleyball, and Saturday mornings were for 4th/5th grade volleyball.  Whew!! 

Caiden started on the varsity team this year, and he even scored several times during the season!  The team finished 4-4, but it really felt like a winning season as two of the games were lost by only a touchdown!  Caiden definitely gained confidence and strength, and that was fun to watch!
It seems Caiden did some growing
this fall!

They played one game over 2 days - thanks to lightning

Cambry made the jump to B team this year, and we couldn't be prouder of her!  She became a consistent server for her team, and they finished the season with a winning record.  She also got to play with some fun teammates, making this is her favorite volleyball season out of the three.




Thanks to low numbers in 5th grade, Delaney and her 4th grade friends got to play rec. volleyball this fall.  What fun it was to help coach and to watch her play a game she is really learning to love.  The skills seem to come naturally to her, and she is always ready to push herself to be better - so great to see!

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...
