Roller Skating

Last Sunday, Caiden had a skating party in Newton - a reward for good praticing from his piano teacher!  So, our family joined the other "piano families" for a fun evening.  I had not been to the skating rink since middle school, but the place has not changed one bit - same carpet, same lighting, same warps in the floor - it was great!!  They even had the "couple skate" where the lights turn red and the disco ball starts turning, and the song is slow.  It brought back memories from grade school when I wanted so badly to skate with a boy during that one song.  This time, I got to skate with Caiden - he even held my hand!  :)

Cambry started out pretty slowly, but she caught on by the end and didn't need us to hold her hand!  Caiden was off and skating right away, despite falling a few times (which resulted in a few tears).  He got back out there, though!  This was a fun family outing, and Cambry was already asking when we could go back!

Same old sign!



Part of his reward was earning a can of pop - Root Beer, of course!

Beginning to slow down!

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...
