A Touching Conversation

As Cambry was getting ready for bed tonight, I had such a touching conversation with her -- I just had to share it!

She got started talking about bows, somehow . . .

Cambry: "Hey, there are bows in rainbows!"
Me: "Yes, that's right,:
Cambry: "I have set my bow in the clouds!" (remembering part of a memory verse from Sunday School)
Me: "Yes -- do you remember who said those words?"
Cambry: "My Sunday School teacher!"
Me: "That's right, but do you know who said it in the Bible?"
Cambry: "God did."
Me: "Yes, a lot of things we read in the Bible are God or Jesus talking."
Cambry: "And Grandma Betty, she's up there too!"


I was so touched to hear her say this -- I don't know if she remembers Grandma Betty at all or if we just talk about her enough, but whatever it is, I'm happy to know that Cambry understands that Grandma Betty (my grandma) is in Heaven!

    This brought tears to my eyes. I love it when the boys talk about Grandma Betty. Like you, I'm not sure that Noah remembers her but he knows about her from pictures and what we tell him.

Pre-Christmas Surprise

 On Dec. 22, I woke up to Caiden not feeling well. In fact, he said he hadn't ever felt the kind of pain he was experiencing that morning. Reluctantly, I made an appointment. Long story, short - it was good he complained because he ended up having his appendix out that afternoon! It must have been at the very beginning stages and thankfully hadn't burst. So, we were in and out of the hospital by midnight that night. Maybe the worst part about the whole thing is that his wisdom teeth surgery had to be postponed since it was supposed to be the very next week. He'll go back to school minus an appendix, but still having his wisdom teeth until February 16! Pre-op Post-op

Mid-Summer Happenings

 I'm trying to remember that I craved "slow and easy" days during the school year, and I feel like that's what I've had this summer. It has been refreshing to wake up in the morning and have a flexible to-do list; although I have to admit that some days do feel long. I suppose that helps me appreciate my teaching job! In not particular order, here's what we've been up to: Endless fixing and revamping in the shop: Digging up potatoes and pulling up a generous onion crop! Look at the size of that potato! The 4th of July fireworks were outdone by the sky this year! Enjoying my walks at sunset: Many, many green beans to can and pickle. Thanks to the girls for cleaning and stemming them! I had been keeping tabs on an Oriole nest near the garden, and one Sunday, I witnessed the "fly-away!" It was a noisy affair as the parents and babies kept calling back and forth. I almost can't get over the fact that I had time to stand and watch the whole affair

League Champs!!

 Delaney and her teammates had an amazing volleyball season! They ended the season undefeated in the Wheat State League, and they only lost 2 matches overall. They had a notable win over Moundridge, 2 wins over Elyria, and THREE wins over Little River - all teams we have had trouble with in the past. They were so fun to watch, working as a team and developing throughout the season, and they ended as the league tournament champs. Thanks to Raechel Boese and Tara Churchill for their work with these ladies. What a fantastic way to end Delaney's middle school volleyball days! The immediate aftermath of a 3-set win over Elyria for  the League Championship! A Team 8th Graders Team Selfie Coaches Churchill and Boese Scenes from the BIG win over Moundridge:
