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

12-13-14 South Grove and Christmas Goodies

by Tori

So Mom says I need to do a blog post since I haven’t done one in ages. This is going to be mainly pictures & captions.

Board games were recently broken out – actually just The Farming Game & Monopoly.

[editor’s note - in case you wondered - Dad was paying bills, and Jesse was working on a Christmas present for Grandpa & Grandma Kaiser. Everyone else did his share!]

Not sure who or why this was taken.

This morning Jacob, Kate, Ben, & I stained all the trim, baseboard, & doors for remodeling the back two bedrooms. Definitely not the worlds funnest job.

Behind the two big sheets are tons of short pieces of trim.
