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

Weekend


I can't remember much about Saturday (and that was only four days ago, oh my), but Ino it started with a beautiful cool morning walk with Jacob. The crop duster in Grandpa's field was a little close for my comfort but I didn't taste any spray so I think I'll live. 
 Girls helped me with a few morning kp and did a few leftover Friday jobs while Dad and Josh mowed at CIT and worked on fences and pastures and Idk what else around here. Jacob & Ben were around enough to help load a couple more pieces of furniture for Tori; then girls and I delivered them. Afternoon found some of us at the lake awhile but water was cool so some of us were pretty content on the beach.



Don't they look happy? Maybe they're getting peached out already??!


Afternoon also found Grandpa in the tractor. If you look closely you can see him smiling. So cute.


Star of the beach. Of course ๐Ÿ˜


I faced a dilemma for supper. One pizza with barely enough or two pizzas and scads left over? 
Great solution: make two and have Levi's help us eat it!

Another beautiful outside evening. Littles had fun on the cornhole boards after older kids went to tyg. Jasper was so cute throwing bags in the hole over and over again.


Josh and Flint had quite a fleet of paper airplanes flying.



After Levi's left, Josh did a little fishing.


And I was in awe at this sunset. This picture doesn't do it justice. The sun was bright red and it. was. stunning.



Home again, Josh kept Brandi busy digging.... for nothing ๐Ÿ˜…


Relaxing Sunday afternoon.


Seems like some went to lake. Some played football with friends. Jewel probably rode her horses. And some of us just hung around and watched the grass grow. Dad and I were on the swing enjoying the beautiful day. We don't do that very often and I wish we would. It's a Very Nice Thing to do.


After supper we enjoyed a beautiful FH singing with our church family while Tori did a great job accompanying on the piano. Then we all enjoyed a snack, precious fellowship, and the new playground. 




And that was our weekend.
