God Sighting

At VBS this week, we have told the kids to be on the lookout for "God Sightings" - where they see God throughout the day.  This morning, one of the 2nd grade girls shared that she had a God Sighting in the cemetery this morning.  I asked her how she saw God there, and she said, "because my grandpa is there."  She just lost her grandpa this past spring, and I thought it was such a beautiful thing to share.  I went on to say that it's sad that he can't be with us here anymore, but how happy we can be that he is in Heaven with Jesus.

Then, this afternoon, I looked over to the computer where Cambry was playing.  She was typing out the words to one of her favorite VBS songs "You, You, You."  She spent her computer time singing and typing away - a particularly happy God sighting for me!  Here is what she typed:

You you YOU
YOU CAN
TRUST GOD
ET DUZENT (IT DOESN'T)
MATR HU (MATTER WHO)
YOU ARE
RAZE YOUR
HDS AND (HANDS)
REPE AFD (REPEAT AFTER)
ME YOU
CAN TRUST
GOD
DEFNETLE (DEFINITELY)

    Actually, seeing the family picking cherries and apricots this evening was pretty much a god-sighting for me!

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:
