Nuggets Along the Trail: 2-12-13 Sunday

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

2-12-13 Sunday

by Kaitlyn

Sunday for supper we had Grandpa and Grandma Kaiser. All of the rest of the Kaisers came later on in the evening. We had a great time.

Before everyone got here Josh was playing with Levi’s boots.

There is always time for some Pit.

The little kids had fun playing in the basement.

Drew and Landry.

Sorry about the bad lighting.

Then we played a couple of songs before everybody left.

Good-bye hugs.

THE END.
