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

Farewell, September

 Saturday 9.28


Janelle came to get a few apples, and she brought these two along. It was so good to have them back for a little while!



Clay said, "I never got to ride alone when I used to come here!" 
That's because you were just a little tyke back then, buddy...
now he's about 12😵
Not really, but man they have both grown up so much.



My Saturday job ~


After supper, this crowd started looking through old pictures while I gave Dad & Josh haircuts. Icr where Sarah & Jewel were.


Gorgeous Sunday morning.
(Be glad I didn't post all 13 px I took😁. It was just so pretty though)


My three favorite colors again.

We have too many cats. Please contact me if you'd like one or two or seven.


From Sarah -


💙💙💙💙


After supper ~








From Kaitlyn. These boys were fascinated with ULevi's open heart surgery pictures. Their intrigue was so cute.


🎵🎸


Home kids + Wesley shenanigans ~



In spite of his fine form, Josh came in second to Wesley (I think). I didn't stay for the conclusion.


My latest trial. Remember this? Well after a month of rest (oh wait, I've been picking and cutting and sorting apples like there's no tomorrow.... that's not rest😓), my tennis aka pickleball elbow is now tennis aka pickleball forearm/elbow. I'm trying to baby it so it can heal. This brace is a good reminder to not use it. And thus ends the apple dehydrating for awhile😞


So Monday night when we cidered - I mostly watched and took pictures whilst everyone else did the work. 



















And that's a wrap for September 2024.
