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

11-27-10 Saturday

Today was another vacation day, kind of, which we all again thoroughly enjoyed.  Dad was to Tremont early to fill up with diesel then home again to pick up Jacob before heading to Fred’s to get a couple bull calves and deliver the chickens we raised for him. Back home we picked up and did laundry, and little ones slept until we basically woke them up and headed them straight to the van. By 9:00 we were all on the road to Uncle Dave’s for a delicious brunch with all the Steiners. We enjoyed our time together again, heading home around 2:30. Dad sold his old F-150 Ford finally, and kids kicked in to chores, showers/baths, and supper prep. Supper was a little early, then Dad, Levi, Jesse, and I went to testimonies for Trent Koch and Dale Beutel. We had a very blessed evening hearing how God has worked in these young men’s lives; singing was wonderful and fellowship was precious. Home to find all littles in beds and the house in good order – thank you very much Tori. Your management in our absence is an incredible blessing! After hashing the day/evening over awhile with the kids, we finally sent them to beds and headed there ourselves.

Aanndd….a few pictures.

It was pretty cold & windy, but we still got out for a walk; ASK and some of the kids were out playing basketball for awhile too.
