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

P1420034

***We love you Sarah!!***

Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.

Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.

Proverbs 8:32,33,35

5-29-14 Sunday

by Kate

Sunday was Jacob’s baptism. We ate at church around 3:00 so we didn’t have to make a big supper later which was nice.

U. Dave's came to our house after church. After sitting around & talking for a while, we went down to the lake. The boys went swimming right away. I didn’t swim until later.
