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

Monday was really cool (50s – actually pretty normal for March!) but we were glad for a nicer day yesterday for a picnic after Restmor singing.  With pretty strong winds, we were once again thankful for our shed for lunch. No blowing plates and potato chips!

    You guys are so funny!! So you're not redneck because you're practicing, huh? Well, whoever heard of practicing fishing?! You ARE redneck!!

    No . . . it's part of the outdoors portion of education at Meadowview Christian Academy. I get it. Levi's showing the littles how and helping them with their technique. I didn't realize you were part of the teaching staff there! Levi, you're a great big brother. I love every one of you from Levi right down to Washy.

    You're the best!!
