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

Blue Sky Weekend

So this was Friday, which is considered the weekend around here. I was taking Josh out to ride in the tractor with a buddy of his and the day was. just. beautiful.

With plenty of afternoon time for kittens – I think this is Drover. His siblings are Dusty and Donovan; I have yet to get good pictures but these are the cutest and healthiest kittens we’ve had in a long time. They don’t lack for attention.

Saturday evening we had a few precious Aberles. Bristol was so cute staring down the calves, but I missed the picture. They won the staredown.

Not sure why our kids like to wear bomber caps in the house.

Sunday was another beautiful day. After a sweet day of worship and fellowship at church, we came home & got ready for our last wiener roast of the year with a bunch of Steiners.

Good times!

Boys went north to a wedding in Morris, and Tori headed south to the Tennessee Fellowship Weekend in Athens. No px of the boys but here’s a few from Tori; they did a little hiking on the way down and found this gorgeous lake.
