July 2026
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

3-26-11 Winter Again

This week has flown by, from short-sleeves in summer on Monday, to icy cold northeast wind by today. We’ll be ready for spring again but are thankful for a few days to get back at deep cleaning and sewing projects. We’re down to very few areas to do yet: kitchen, laundry room, back bathroom, basement bathroom, and basement kitchen. Here a little, there a little, we’re getting it done. A good feeling. Sewing projects are coming along nicely too; we only have four skirts to do yet before gardening starts up again, and they are all cut out which is a good start. So.  Other than that, school is winding down, Dad is busy at work, Levi is working a lot, Jesse is studying a lot as well as milking and working some at PP, and everyone has been dealing with various combinations of cold/cough/sore throats for about 3 weeks now. We went to family night at church Wednesday night but with all the hacking from our bench we should have stayed home. Tomorrow I’ll probably be home with some again too. Come on Spring.

A few pictures from the last few days then I’m calling it a day because I’m tired!
