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

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!
