More from May

In other May news . . .

I was able to go with Delaney on her field trip to the Cosmosphere - what fun!  I always enjoy watching her interactions with her friends!

Quinli, Delaney, Lydia, Elaina - of course Delaney seems to be a goofball in this picture!


Also in May, Cale and Addi were busy with state tennis and state swimming.  We didn't get a chance to see tennis, but Cale's team finished as state runners-up!  Addi represented Hesston at state swimming, and the girls and I went to Topeka to watch.  She swam well, but maybe not as fast as she wanted to.  No matter how she finished, I know she was overjoyed to be swimming at state!

5th place in the 50 M freestyle


3rd place in the 100 M Free

Still more:  Delaney again participated in our school's volleyball and basketball camps at the end of May.  She loved every minute of them, particularly volleyball.  She continues to develop her skills in both sports, and we are looking forward to watching her compete for JH teams in just a couple of years - wow, can that be??

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

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! The immediate aftermath of a 3-set win over Elyria for  the League Championship! A Team 8th Graders Team Selfie Coaches Churchill and Boese Scenes from the BIG win over Moundridge:

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
