September 2025
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

Almost February

Before we close out January, back to the beginning of the month, when Jesse & Jacob were in Gabe & Mary’s wedding. Now isn’t that a pretty nice-looking group of young men?

Lookin good

Back to post-Florida pictures - - -

It’s bird-watching season.

A day with the Rassi rascals is always pretty good fun.

More snow – quite amusing to watch Smiles wait for a bird.

(she never got one)

This was Saturday, preparing for a TYG supper.

Lots to do, but lots of hands get lots done …

P1120679

…which meant kids could head to the rink awhile before the evening function started. And I have no pictures of the evening because I was kind of busy. But it was a very blessed evening with beautiful singing and precious fellowship with our TYG as well as many young folks from our Bradford/Princeville congregation. 

 

Ben took this one – not sure if that’s a small rat or a biiig mouse. Either way, I’m glad it’s lunch for Tab Sister.

(((Yes I know most of you blog readers don’t appreciate pictures of dead rodents. But this blog is first of all for our family, and if someone here thinks we need a picture of a dead rat, well then I’m going to post it for them. Although personally I don’t care for dead rodents either. Actually I do like them significantly better than live ones. Just sayin’.)))

 

With sunshine and blue skies and 50* forecast for tomorrow – welcome SpringDay in January!!

 

 

Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.

Acts 2:28
