Our Superhero

Cambry declared Monday to be "Pajama Superhero Day!"  What did this mean exactly?  I'm not quite sure, other than it meant she put on her pajamas and attached a blanket "cape" around her neck.  She bounded into the kitchen and announced herself as "Superhero Cambry!"  She was really quite helpful all day and even showed me how she could "fly" (imagine her lying on her tummy in front of her fan with arms outstretched and hair blowing).

I wish I could say that I jumped right in and played along, but I have discovered that I'm really not that kind of mom.  It's hard for me to "play."  I did, however, use her "super powers" to help with little things throughout the day - picking up things, helping in the kitchen, that sort of thing.  Delaney knocked over a lamp at one point, and I actually heard Cambry say, "Superhero Cambry is on her way!"

This is her kind of play.  She doesn't play with dolls, play kitchens, Legos, and stuffed animals.  Her style of play is imagining and creating.  Even though it is hard for me to do those things, I realize that God has given her this gift of imagination.  My prayer is that Chelan and I can embrace this and encourage her along the way!
One of the project this superhero helped out with - she decided
adding the green beans one at a time through the small funnel
was a good idea.  And Delaney may have gotten her jar
a little full!
All she's missing is a big C on her shirt!

She was especially excited about a 4-wheeler ride because it would
make her cape "fly"

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

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:

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
