March 2024
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

11-30-10 Routine Tuesday

After a busy weekend and an unscheduled trip to the doctor and store yesterday, today was refreshingly boring. School, a piano lesson, laundry (as always), boys milked twice, I did lots of catch-up jobs such as patching and straightening up things that had kind of slid into disarray, sent a few Christmas cards out, worked on Our Family Circus – I keep thinking I’ll get it done but something always comes up and it gets moved down on the list again.  Kate made bread solo which was a big accomplishment for her again. She’s doing great. Thanks, Kate! It was cold and windy – I cut my walk short because I’m basically a walking wimp. I hadn’t dressed warm enough, and that wind does me in. Plus I had hesitated even walking because I had so much going on and I wanted to get things wrapped up; the icy cold wind made my decision easy. I hope it warms up a little bit tomorrow so I can get in a walk – I miss it when I don’t get out. Routine evening. Boys got home just in time to have supper with us which is always nice. Family worship at the table again, and then K’nex was the order of the evening; I missed my chance at a picture but it was cute having almost all the kids and a huge pile of K’nex all over the living room. I played the piano some which is a winter perk that I enjoy, and Dad did some managing like all good Dads do and then played with Joshua some. He’s been somewhat fussy with this cold he has; hopefully he’ll be over it soon, poor little tyke.

That’s it.
