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

Still More Puppies, Kids, and Skating

 



 
Aaaand after a few weeks at the laundromat (which isn't all that bad, by the way. Morton has a mansion of a laundromat), life got much more simple. Peeps, appreciate your washer/dryer because when they're out of service, life gets a little crazier!

 
Back to kids and puppies :)


 
Fun Friday Skate #6









 
Who knew waking up Grandpa could be so much fun?





 
A beautiful Sunday afternoon.

 
Somebody obviously wasn't thinking of sunsets when this shed was built.


 
On Monday we took a few puppies to South Side Christian Academy. It's an amazing ministry that can always use volunteers, prayers, and support. Check them out.
Kids loved the puppies (of course).








 
Puppies were wiped out by the time the last class visited!

 
Back home. A goldfish box is the funnest toy.

 
Wednesday







 
Hehe puppies love to help me sort laundry. So stinkin' cute.

 
Since puppies are weaned, Brandi spends a lot of time teaching them proper dog behavior. She's a great dog mom.

 
Fun Friday Skate #7










 
Photo cred: Tori. Well, Tori's phone. Technically, a waitress took the picture. Choir bus trip to Athens, AL. These single kids had a great time.

 
Work begins on Levi&Echo's new house.






 
And that's the end of February 2020. And hopefully the end of snow pictures. Come on Spring. We're all ready!
