First Day!

All day yesterday Cambry kept exclaiming, "I can't wait for tomorrow!"  She's been so eager to start Kindergarten and Caiden has been so reluctant to start 2nd grade (at least he acts like he doesn't want to go - I think it's just a show)!  Last night, we went over the morning schedule again:  wake up, get dressed, breakfast, brush teeth, do hair (a new addition for school mornings - Caiden was so easy)!   I thought it would be hard for them to go to sleep, but they fell asleep almost immediately.

Chelan woke the kids up this morning - a surprise for them.  We're all getting up before Chelan leaves for work - quite a change!  We had our traditional back-to-school cinnamon rolls.  Well, everyone but Cambry.  She has to have cereal in the mornings!  Then, it was off to the end of the driveway. 

After they had gotten on the bus and I was walking, I suddenly realized that I hadn't thought to give Cambry a hug or had time to tear up about her going to Kdg.  She was so excited to hop on the bus, I almost didn't have time to get a picture.  I'm so happy she was excited - I guess it made sending her off a little easier!

The sun was barely peaking over the hill as we walked up the driveway


I love this picture - it captures how they both feel about going to school!

We have a new bus driver this year - Sarah Simington.  She's very friendly, and I think the kids will love her!

I caught him smiling!

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

Spring Art

While Mrs. Schmidt was away on maternity leave during the spring, Mr. Novak (from Hesston) filled in for her. Since Cambry has her first 3 class periods in the art room, she got to know him very well and he mentioned several times how he appreciated Cambry's artistic style and way of thinking. He even let her paint a little bit on his own pieces! Cambry took several pieces to the WSL art festival in April. She came home with a first place finish in the graphic design category and an honorable mention in the computer design category. We are so thankful for the instruction she has received over the last 4 years in Goessel. Now, on to Hesston College with Professor Cross!

July Highlights

July was a slow, meandering stroll through mid-summer. Slow as it was, there were some highlights: Lots of raspberries to pick - what a delight! Kenya continues to grow and learn how to take walks: Delaney loved her week at Camp Menno! Delaney and Jenna attended the KSU Volleyball camp: All 5 of us were in the SAME place at the SAME time to attend a beautiful wedding! Cambry found success at the Marion Co. Fair one last time with 4 purples and 1 red on her photos. Two of those purples turned into a Reserve Grand Champion and Grand Champion in her respective classes. Fun fact, as an assistant, she sat with her future art professor as he judged photos! Delaney and I were "guest readers" at the little kids' Splish Splash Party at church: Last but not least - the Paris Olympics started! We watched the opening ceremony at Vanessa's. I took an olympic flag fruit pizza to share with everyone: Next up: a busy month of transitions!
