September 2025
Over the years, we've always compared our family life to a wagon train heading west. Just as everyone had to do his part to get to Oregon years ago, so everyone in our family must do his/her part to make our journey through life successful. If somebody climbs in the wagon and lets the others do the work, we just don't make any progress. We all have to pull our weight and work together. Along the trail we find lots of pebbles that make for a smooth ride and some bigger rocks that jar us a little; we hit the occasional pothole that can slow us down. But if we purpose to search diligently, there are countless gold nuggets and precious gemstones along the way as well. This journal is an attempt to preserve some of those precious moments for our children, and our children's children, as together we travel this trail called life.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11

11-12-10 73 Degrees in November

Today was just a fun day. Morning was routine, with spelling test and cleaning jobs, then Heather and crew came for lunch and fun play on the most beautiful November day I ever remember! Sunny, calm, breezy – amazing for November. “They” say tomorrow this nice weather ends, so we squeezed every last little bit of sunshine we could today. After Heather left, I put Joshua down for a nap, kids started right in on chores, and then I headed to Morton for a few errands. Home to hear about the rat excitement while I was gone, finish up chores, and get ready for supper guests. We had a great time with Doug & Brooke & crew…hope they enjoyed the evening as much as we did.

One picture of the rat is enough (overgrown mouse – nasty little thing, isn’t it?).
