Our New Kitten

About 3 weeks ago, Chelan's sister discovered a kitten at the farm who seemed to be going up to anyone or anything - as if looking for its mother or for food or something.  She brought it back here and gave it some milk, and as soon as I heard about it, I went to track it down at the farm and brought it back here for good.

We think something happened to its mother because we haven't seen it since finding the kitten.  As soon as I saw the poor thing, I knew it needed help - especially since it came right up to me.  The kittens on the farm never come up to people!

So, we've been enjoying a new friend on our deck.  He's definitely perked up, his tummy is filling out, a gray tomcat has befriended it, and I think he's going to be just fine!
I found Delaney reading a story to the kitten the other day.  As long
as the screen separated her from it, things were okay.  She's not
very fond of the kitten's claws!  I know I have a picture of
me doing this same thing when I was little, but I just haven't
had time to find it!

His tomcat friend, Dustnight

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!
