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

Apples and Onions and Kids, Oh My

Not sure where last Monday went, but last Tuesday was an Auggie day. He was so pleased with his "phone." 
We'd also been picking up dropped apples (aka drops) from A. Sarah's neighbor's tree; so Tuesday we sauced them up.


Also some Rocke Sauders came by for awhile.


Wednesday brought us Kinsey and Joelle. I can't remember if we went to the lake last week or not. Probably not. If there's no pictures, I guess we didn't do it ๐Ÿ˜‰
Pretty sure Wednesday was a backyard pool day.



Thursday morning we picked apples from A. Sarah's neighbor's tree. 
And picked.
And picked. 
And picked!
See truck in A. Sarah's driveway. 
Here we took a break. I'm not very good at guessing how many apples are on trees; I guessed 6 or 7 bushels.
Wrong.
13!
So thankful that Doug shared them with us! We left some for Doug and his family, delivered some, and took the rest home to sauce and for others to pick up. 


Left bucket and crate - drops.
Right buckets and crates - picked from tree.
*not sure why this picture is so crooked. Owell*


And then we headed to the lake for awhile.
Rayna kept talking about snakes; Josh and Jewel zipped home so they could introduce Rayna to a real snake. I don't think she was impressed.
Smart girl.



Cutest
 ๐Ÿ˜


That night a crew walked beans for Marv; so Dad, Jacob, and I pulled the onions.


They look fine.


Meanwhile - a few px from the girls - - -



And that's a wrap for last week. I have no px of Friday so Idk what went on. Crazy how that is, you know? I know I did groceries and stopped by to see Grandma Steiner; kids did Friday jobs and garden work. No lake. Maybe we're getting a little laked out? Pretty sure it was really really hot. But our AC is working just fine ๐Ÿ˜„.
Thankfully!
