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

12-25-10 Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all. What a special day as we started out by worshipping our Creator God and King Jesus with our church family. Glen was here and had some excellent thoughts from Matthew 1-2, one being that Joseph followed the leading of the Holy Spirit many times as he protected Baby Jesus from King Herod who sought to destroy Him. How about us? Do I discern and follow the Holy Spirit’s leading in my life as Joseph did? Also Glen pointed out that as Herod instructed the wise men to go and search diligently for the young child, although for an evil purpose, so should we diligently seek God.

After church we enjoyed fellowship with many visitors; it’s a special part of our worship when we can connect again with those we don’t normally see. Home again for a light lunch, ASK came out for the afternoon and supper, and then both sets of grandparents joined us for the evening.

The predicted 3-4 inches of snow was more like 6-7. It was beautiful!

I opted to do chores with Dad while this crowd had another great time on the 4-wheeler. What would we do without it?

Grandpa demonstrated his unique hold which Dad has told us about.

We enjoyed visiting and a movie that Grandma Kaiser had brought (The Cubs of Yellowstone – the kids loved it!)(We did too – got us wishing for another Yellowstone vacation), and then I put 3 littles through the bathtub and to bed. After all grandparents had left, Dad and I met with Levi, and that’s when my stomach started extremely painful cramping…
