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

3-31-11 Thursday

Our main accomplishment today (besides school) was getting our candy onions transplanted. This is our first year for them, and we’ll see how they grow. It was cool yet, but when the sun was out it was pretty nice. We didn’t get any pictures because all our hands were pretty muddy, but we hope to yet. Anyway, here are a few pictures of the last few days. Nothing much has been going on except school, work, and play. Oh, and calves getting out!!

And LOTS of eggs! These were Wednesday’s.

p.s. Ben’s been instructed not to carry so many eggs downstairs on the NEW carpet any more. Nice picture, but a little too precarious in my book.

We didn’t quite get done with our deep cleaning by April 1, but we’re very very close. We have a little over half of the kitchen cupboards to do yet. I’m not quite sure where Joshua’s clothes went, but he was so busy and happy helping Kate that I wasn’t too worried about it.

Thursday’s eggs. (When Ben takes pictures I will usually post them!)

Despite it looking worse, Levi’s foot actually is doing better. He’s off the crutches and hobbling around albeit quite slowly. He’s back to milking yesterday and back to shipping today (he’s been doing sitting work for production this week to stay off it). We’re thankful it wasn’t broken and is mending!!

That’s it!
