Our Superhero

Cambry declared Monday to be "Pajama Superhero Day!"  What did this mean exactly?  I'm not quite sure, other than it meant she put on her pajamas and attached a blanket "cape" around her neck.  She bounded into the kitchen and announced herself as "Superhero Cambry!"  She was really quite helpful all day and even showed me how she could "fly" (imagine her lying on her tummy in front of her fan with arms outstretched and hair blowing).

I wish I could say that I jumped right in and played along, but I have discovered that I'm really not that kind of mom.  It's hard for me to "play."  I did, however, use her "super powers" to help with little things throughout the day - picking up things, helping in the kitchen, that sort of thing.  Delaney knocked over a lamp at one point, and I actually heard Cambry say, "Superhero Cambry is on her way!"

This is her kind of play.  She doesn't play with dolls, play kitchens, Legos, and stuffed animals.  Her style of play is imagining and creating.  Even though it is hard for me to do those things, I realize that God has given her this gift of imagination.  My prayer is that Chelan and I can embrace this and encourage her along the way!
One of the project this superhero helped out with - she decided
adding the green beans one at a time through the small funnel
was a good idea.  And Delaney may have gotten her jar
a little full!
All she's missing is a big C on her shirt!

She was especially excited about a 4-wheeler ride because it would
make her cape "fly"

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...

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!
