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

Littles

by Sarah
 
Last Tuesday we got to have three little Baers. Ella was pretty pleased that she got to help make cookies...
 
 
… and she was even more pleased when she got to eat one.
 
 
It's great that Josh has started to enjoy reading more! Not sure where Jack was at during the picture, but at some point he was also reading with them.  
 
 
Kinsey came over later that afternoon to hang out for awhile.
 
 
And we are still working away at the wood pile.



 
And the sky is cloudy. Again.

 
Stacking wood.



Wednesday we babysat Ben and the three little Aberles. We didn't have Cason and Clay, since we were going to have them on Thursday instead. Kinsey also came over for awhile, and Echo stopped by with two little cuties, so we had a pretty busy day.
 
 
Flint was so cute in his little overalls!


 
Wyatt and Josh worked on cleaning up the wood scraps for a lot of the day.

 
The cats got lots of attention too. Although after about 10 or 15 minutes of little kids hauling them around, they all suddenly disappeared. I wonder why:)



 
Of course if it's a hot day you have to have popsicles!


 
Thursday we had two little Sauders.
 
 
Little heartbreaker was a  little heartbreak (like normal).
 
 
Rocking the shades! (Isn't he so cute?!)
 
 
Josh picked Mom these pretty ditch irises.
 
 
Since we now have an ice shaver, snow cones have been a huge hit. Clay was pretty intrigued with the snow.


 
Both of the boys loved the snow cones. They had several servings each.

 
Jake is moving in with Jim in a few weeks, so he's started moving his things over.
