Speaking of Growing Up . . .

In my last post, I mentioned how fast Delaney is growing up.  Well, on Sunday, we discovered that Cambry is growing up fast, too!  She came into the kitchen after lunch and exclaimed, "Look, I just pulled out my tooth!"  She said it very mat
ter-of-factly, which was kind of funny!

When she discovered that this tooth was loose, she went through some anxiety about it, but I would say she has embraced the fact that she will be losing more teeth!  She keeps telling me how good it feels to feel the empty space with her tongue!  :)

She believes in the tooth fairy - sort of.  Caiden never misses a chance to tell her that the tooth fairy is a fake, and she keeps asking me if Dad and I are the tooth fairy.  I tell her, "Yes" but I think she dismisses my answer in hopes that the tooth fairy is real!

The "tooth fairy" in our house did not do a good job of remembering this momentous occasion.  In fact, when Cambry came to breakfast on Monday morning, she didn't say anything about finding money.  When I saw her toothless smile, I gasped (in my head).  I had completely forgotten to take care of it!  So, I went to find 2 quarters, snuck upstairs, made the exchange, and came back down.  After a little time had passed, I asked her if she had remembered to check her pillow (she's using a tooth pillow I got from my grandma when I was little).  Her eyes grew wide and she said, "No, I forgot!"  Whew - thank goodness she hadn't checked before coming 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...
