At the end of July, CTF had a day of family fun at the office with a few very special guests — Bashie, Rosie and Baby Rowan.
Bashie, 8, is the youngest son of CTF Program Director, Jeni Sommerfeld.
Bashie is a creative, ingenuitive kid who has been known to enjoy video games, building circuits, and learning magic tricks.
Elisabeth “Rosie,” 11, is the youngest daughter of CTF Executive Director, Emily van Schenkhof.
Rosie is a talented artist with an active imagination. She enjoys drawing and creating art, exploring new places, and baking.
The pair were quick friends. They warmed up to each other with a few activities, including watching Lego Batman, making (and testing out) paper airplanes, and coloring.
A bit later, the pair went on a tour of the Harry S Truman State Office Building. Rosie was full of great ideas for photos and Bashie’s silly side started coming out.
After lunch, the re-energized pair spent some more time in the conference room watching Minions 2, building a fort, and coloring some more. They also put their energy to use by practicing their office etiquette skills.
Later in the afternoon, another small guest stopped by the office to say, “hi” — Baby Rowan!
Baby Rowan is the firstborn son of CTF Administrative Assistant, Nicole Dunmire.
Baby Rowan is the newest member of the CTF family! He enjoys dancing and playing all night, filling his belly all day, and fussing as soon as he gets home from an adventure.
Baby Rowan helped us get some work done and stay on task!
He’s a great colleague and a huge helper!
In fact, Baby Rowan was such a big help that we wanted to return the favor. So, we all helped him out with one of his important daily tasks — TUMMY TIME!
A very special ‘Thank You’ to Rosie, Bashie, and Rowan for such a special, joyful day at CTF!
