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

6-20-11 Our Nice Weekend

{by Kaitlyn}

Saturday we butchered 40 of our meat chickens. When we were done with that we (me and Tori) went to move the kittens that were born in the manger. We put them in a box and put the box in the back of a room in the barn. Later we went down to the south grove and cut down some trees. Some of the trees did not fall very good. Two of the trees were all tangled up at the top so Jesse and Jacob had to pull them down after Dad cut them!!  Ben and I found out that the wild black raspberries are ready to pick. They are really good! Sunday night for supper we had Grandma and Grandpa Kaiser and Steiner and A. Sarah.  The Keevers came for the evening. We played baseball for a while and then we had ice cream bars.

The little kittens that we moved.
