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!

Surprise!

Well, I sure don't get surprised very often, but Saturday night was a huge surprise to me! I thought I was heading to Hesston for an AGCO Christmas Dinner with Chelan. He told me we needed to drop something off at Ben and Tina's house (my cousin), first. Okay, no big deal! While we were there, Ben said they were about ready to go out for dinner, did we want to come along? Surprisingly, Chelan thought about it and wanted to do it (clue #1 that something was up). I kept saying that we couldn't skip out on his dinner, but Chelan insisted that going to Wichita for dinner would be much more fun. I even said, "This seems like something you had planned!" However, I'm always up for dinner in Wichita, so I agreed, reluctantly!! We enjoyed a meal at Hangar 1 Steakhouse and I thought that was the end of it. But, on the way home, Chelan asked if we could go by the new arena since the inaugural concert was there that night -- Brad Paisley! I thought it would be f...

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!

Fall Daze

The Fall Semester zoomed by as usual with lots of activities - mostly volleyball. However, there were some other events we enjoyed, too. Volleyball-wise, Delaney had a great first season! The team placed first at their home tournament, at the Olpe tournament, they were regional champions and sub-state runners-up (losing to Little River...again), and they finished 2nd in the league. Individually, Delaney made it onto the all-league first team and was a state stat leader (top 25) in serving! Our community continued to celebrate the 150th anniversary of our ancestors coming to the area. We toured the site of the first immigrant houses while Delaney helped to park cars with the youth group. Delaney was a care bear with her friends for Halloween. She was also in her first musical: The Little Mermaid. She played the roles of a princess and a maid. Overall, she enjoyed it, despite lots of practices! We thoroughly enjoyed the performance and I still marvel at what can be accomplished at a ...
