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

Goodbye Kittens

Well this is one way to listen to an audio book Smile.

Emily and three sweethearts came to pick up a few kittens,

P1150100

and had so much fun playing,

P1150101

that they even stayed for lunch,

P1150103

before picking out three of this bunch! Can you count seven in the pile?

P1150104

We’ll have about nine more available in a couple of weeks, so let us know if you’re in need of some super-cute super-friendly kittens (if you weren’t counting: before Em took three, we had sixteen kittens!)(to five queens, one of which was killed). Suspicion is high that one of the four queens is pregnant again…

Gorgeous day.

Hardly wanted to head inside with such a perfect fire, but it got pretty late so was time.

So excited to finally sleep in the tent,
