Birthday Trip

One of Cambry's birthday presents was a trip to "Color Me Mine" in Wichita.  Have you heard about this?  You can go into the store, pick out any piece of pottery you want, and then glaze it. They will fire it for you, and then it can be picked up a week later.  So fun!!

We told Cambry she could take a friend along with her.  After a week of thinking, she chose her cousin!  I was so excited about this because this means that Cambry thinks of Addi as a friend and Addi actually really wanted to go (even though she's 5 years older).

We had a great time.  The girls each painted a puppy and I painted a mug - which I am totally loving!  Addi gave great advice for colors and such - she's so artsy!  I would have taken pictures of the process, but my camera died when we got there (literally died - for good.)  So, I took a picture of the final product last Sunday at church when we were all together again!

While Addi's puppy looks quite lifelike, Cambry had the idea to paint the weather on the back of her puppy - a quirky but creative idea (typical Cambry).  Addi says it looks "magical." She's so sweet!  All in all, a successful birthday gift.  They both want to go back sometime!

And me too - girls' night out, anyone?

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...
