“Skate” from the Book of Things
Have you ever heard the saying, "Practice makes perfect?" Well, if you have, it fits this story perfectly. I've been skateboarding for two or three years now and I've become much more talented at it. What's funny is that whenever I went out to skateboard, my little sisters would follow. I hated it! So I would run inside and leave the girls out there and they would come in screaming. Now I'm starting to break my skateboard more and more. In this picture it's broken. I always thought it was cool to break, sprain, twist, bruise and scratch a bone because you would get a cast. Boy, did it...
Blue Clifton by Alexa
The blue house by College Hill Park was the first house the Genosky kids lived in all together, where everyone had their own rooms and lots of space. Sean and mom got married while we were living in that house. Hannah was born and brought home to that house. Many parties and tons of holiday dinners were celebrated in that house.

Our First Date
Our First Date It was the fall of 1995 and Sean and I were on our first date. I had never even set foot in a Catholic Church until then. It was a Saturday evening and I thought Sean and I were going out to dinner. I was so excited to be with Sean this day, and then he pulled in the parking lot across the street on Douglas, and I said, ‘What are we doing?’ he said, ‘We were going to Mass’. I am thinking Mass…What’s Mass? And I am in jeans, are you crazy? Not to mention, I was hungry. Little did I know I was hungry for a different kind of food; spiritual food. Blessed Sacrament...
The Little White Church
The Little White Church This is a recent picture of a little church on the northwest corner of 33rd and Park Place in the north end of Wichita, Kansas. It was right around the corner from my childhood home on Wellington Place and still stands today. It doesn’t look quite the same, but the steps are and it was a safe haven for me when I was a child. To this day, I never knew the name of the church or its denomination nor did I even care. I just knew that I felt at peace there. And I knew that God was there too. As a child, I endured the physical and emotional pain of sexual abuse from...

Let’s Go See Santa at Prairie Pines
Prairie Pines Christmas Tree Farm has long been a holiday tradition of the Genosky family. Sean and I took the older kids to the Christmas Tree Farm and cut down our christmas family tree together when we lived in Wichita, Kansas. It was always quite the experience; bundling the kids up making sure they were warm and heading out on our adventure. Rarely it snowed making the journey a little more pleasant, but there were a few occasions where got the full experience with snow and all. The kids enjoyed riding the tractor and helping us find the perfect tree. After we picked out the...
