Valentine Creations

This year, we had not two, but three sets of Valentines to think about - a first for this family!  Caiden went the easy route and bought Valentine cards this year.  Sports-themed, of course!  His sisters, however, wanted to make their own again.  And, I really enjoy helping them.  We found some cute ideas!  Cambry went with the glow sticks, and Delaney preferred the bunnies (made from her fingerprints).  It seemed to fit her since she seems to like everything bunny these days!  Delaney had her pre-school party today and she was so excited to open up her bag of treats at home!  We read through the cards and sorted out the candy after lunch - Valentine's Day was a big hit for her and we haven't even gotten to the actual day yet!

Tomorrow - the main event - I'm in charge of Cambry's 2nd grade party at school.  She helped me get the craft ready today - "love bugs!"  I think they are super-cute and I hope the kids like them!

Craft kits assembled!
As for Chelan and me?  Well, Valentine's Day and my birthday are usually a two-for-one deal.  He says he has plans for us tomorrow night that did involve ordering tickets and will include dressing up!  This is highly unusual, so I'm curious, and excited, and anxious all at the same time.  I don't really do well with surprises - I'm a planner!  However, it is a huge deal to me that he planned an evening out for us - ahead of time!  I think November 2 was the last time it was just him and me.  I plan to cherish the evening!

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...
