Mother-Daughter Date

This summer, I've been reading the Ramona books out loud to Caiden and Cambry (usually just Cambry because Caiden tends to read ahead).  When I saw a poster advertising the play, "Henry and Ramona" I thought it would be fun to take the kids.  Cambry was the only one who wanted to go, however, so we made it into a Mother/Daughter date!

We had a great time, and Cambry told me that the play was "Amazing!"  She also told me that school shopping afterwards was "Amazing," the purple and pink shoes she picked out were "Amazing" and that Freddy's for supper was "Amazing!"  All in all it was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon - just me and my oldest girl!


We never miss a stop at Freddy's when we are in
Hutchinson!
We generally don't have a huge back-to-school shopping trip, but
I figured out that Cambry had no shoes that fit her - in the tubs
and tubs of shoes that we have, there were none in her size.  She
picked these out right away - definitely "her"!  I couldn't
complain much because they were some of the cheapest on
the shelf!

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!
