A "Small" Problem

Have you ever gotten a moth stuck in your ear?  Well, Chelan has!  Last night he came in from the shop and informed me that a moth had flown into his ear!  Really??  How does a moth find a person's ear!  I could hear it fluttering about in his ear canal, and he could feel it burrowing in and it apparently was very painful!  In fact, I heard more cussing from him last night than I have ever heard in our 9 years together!  :) 

Anyway, after I tried and tried and tried to get it with a tweezers and worrying that I was going to poke somewhere I shouldn't, we started dumping peroxide in his ear - to drown it, maybe?  We were in unfamiliar territory!  I was just about ready to take him to the ER when I noticed a little something moving in his ear.  Thankfully, I was able to pull the thing out - alive!  Chelan insisted on taking a picture of it, and then I he took care of it! 

So, if you ever get a moth stuck in your ear, I guess we can offer some advice on how to get it out!
The culprit!

    Dad went to the Dr. to have a moth pulled out of his ear - and the Dr. taped it to his medical record!

    Wow. Really? Wow. I can just see Chelan madder than a hornet (or a drowning moth)!

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!

Off and Running!

A month into the school year and everyone seems to be clicking along . . . at least for now! We caught up with Cambry today, now in a room of her own for the very first time! She is enjoying her esports team, particularly making the social media posts and taking pictures for the team. She gets some Rocket League time in as well! And she has access to the art building pretty much when she wants it! Caiden is doing his thing at K-State and at athletic events again. And Delaney is trying to do every possible activity available in high school. Of course, her top priority is volleyball, and right now, her team is 2nd overall in 1A-1 and recently won their home tournament for the first time since 2017! And, Kenya is growing like a weed!
