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

After supper hockey. Jewel and Sarah make great goalies so they get to play too. And in case you think it wasn’t very cold out because of the lack of heavy coats, think again; we were just playing like crazy.

Dad made Josh and Jewel a very nice fort.

Chess is the latest and greatest around here right now. There are no pictures of Levi playing, but after he gets home he is constantly bombarded with requests to play chess from Sarah and Jewel.

Our very fluffy (and cold) looking chairs.

It snowed 6 or 7 inches overnight last night.

Here you can see exactly how much snow we got.

Ready to go sledding behind the four-wheeler.

P1370527

We got stuck first thing.

Later Jesse took the other four-wheeler across the road. Don’t we look snazzy in our sunglasses?

P1370537

Ready to roll.

P1370538

Our driver was looking snazzy too.

P1370540

We went through all the cow pastures and fields. Josh and I tipped over once – Josh thought it was funny while I was just glad the other sled didn’t run us over.
