Last Pictures from Christmas Break

One of Delaney's gifts was a trip to Build-a-Bear - something she's been wanting for a long time.  Last week, we all ventured to Wichita to drop Chelan's parents off at the airport.  Then, we headed across town to Build-a-Bear Workshop.

As we walked into the mall, Chelan and I realized we don't take the kids out much.  They were wide-eyed at all the activity, not to mention the escalators!  We had to ride an escalator up just so we could come back down!  It made me chuckle.

Delaney enjoyed picking out a pink bear, stuffing it, giving it an air bath, and then picking out clothes.  It was fun to watch how many times she changed her mind about outfits!  In fact, I was having so much fun I forgot to take many pictures!  Cambry also had fun picking out new clothes for her bear with some of her Christmas money.

Our next stop was Red Robin - so good!  I think only Caiden had been there with us before.

I know it's okay that we don't go out very often, but it felt good to be out and about together as a family - even if Chelan had to endure a little shopping!

And one last picture from New Year's Day:  My new year's cookie glazer was reading on the job!

    Pinkie reminds me of Teddy...Brandy's constant companion!

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!
