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

The kids got combine rides again today – probably the last time this year. It was so dusty!! The cloud of dust just followed the combine all over. And when the combine was just south of the house, the dust came right on in the open windows…until I realized it and closed them for awhile. It was hard to walk out to the combine because the dust was just so thick, and blowing right into our eyes…I know soybean harvest is always dusty, but I don’t ever remember it being quite this bad before.

All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small. All things wise and wonderful, the Lord God made them all.

The purple headed mountain, the river flowing by, The sunset and the morning which brighten up the sky.

He gave us eyes to see them And lips that we might tell. How great is GOD ALMIGHTY Who has made all things well.

Josh was so cute tonight (isn’t he always?!).  Jesse had been reading a book on the swing, and Josh wanted Jesse to play with him. Bossy little man with his precious baby voice says to Jesse, “Put dat book down.” Which Jesse, being the wonderful big brother that he is, did, and they had a jolly time shelling soybeans together.
