Christmas Eve


I've always looked forward to Christmas Eve almost more than Christmas Day itself -- probably because we always opened our presents after the program at church.  And, the church program has always been such a highlight for me - I even enjoyed the practices!

So, I was completely bummed that I woke up with a stomach bug on Christmas Eve morning.  After talking to my sister, though, I learned that my aunt, uncle, cousin, her son, and my other cousin were also sick.  By the end of the evening, both of my parents had it.  8 people went down within 24 hours!  Food poisoning or virus?  We'll never know - we had all been together the night before, though!

By Christmas Eve night, I was feeling good enough to venture out to my parents' house and to church.  There was just no way I was going to miss it this year - I never have!  And this year, Delaney was one of the 2 year old angels -- my most favorite part of the program every year.  She did not disappoint!  Here's a picture - if I get the video to work, I'll put it on later.

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!

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!
