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

9-23-14 Friday Evening

by Kate

Friday we got to keep our favorite Lainey for awhile.

Leann and the rest of the kids came for supper. After supper we shelled and picked corn for  awhile.

Sarah and Lexi worked on making clothes for their corn husk dolls in the play house. Jewel doesn’t usually play with them because she is usually with the boys.

Lainey had fun playing with the camera and taking pictures. It’s pretty cute watching her walk around taking pictures. Most of them didn’t turn out and these ones are the best.

[editor’s note:  Lainey was looking at her px on the camera. She was so cute when she saw this one: “Josh!”]

I took these next few pictures of the girls up in the tree house. It was very dark so they aren’t very good pictures. [editor’s note: I’m still very glad to have them. Thanks Kate!]

Lexi, Wesley, and Whitley got to camp in the back yard. We managed to find enough of the same clothes so the girls could match.

We slept in the tent……

P1460261

……while the boys slept under the stars. They are not sleeping yet; the flash must have been bright. It was at least midnight before we got to sleep.

Saturday morning Mom took them back home again. It was a lot of fun.

THE END.
