Out With the Old . . .

. . . In with the new!  We welcomed a new couch and chair into our home Monday night!  For those of you who have sat in our old couch, you will understand what a fantastic addition this is to our house!  The last time Grandma and Grandpa were here watching the kids, they weren't sure if they would actually get up and out of that old couch.  Springs were poking through, the fabric was torn all over, and it was generally uncomfortable to sit in!  I bought that couch at an auction in Goessel after I graduated from college - so it's well over 11 years old.

Chelan has found the new chair particularly nice for sleeping in already!  The kids are also enjoying the reclining aspect of the couch.  Poor Delaney, however, isn't big enough to get up on the couch by herself.  She was so used to hopping up onto the old one because it sat so low to the floor.  She doesn't mind asking for help, though!

We're still trying to figure out the best arrangement for the new stuff, but don't be surprised if the phone doesn't get answered next time you call in the evening - Chelan and I may be too comfortable to get up!  :)
The Old!

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)
