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

8-11-11 COOL!

(Tori)

Things are pretty cool this week, because the heat wave finally broke and the AC is off!! We are just lovin’ it! We are due some nice weather here because we didn’t have much of a spring. However, just because it feels like spring doesn’t mean it is. Instead of planting the cantaloupe, we are harvesting them. This is our first year to really try them so we had some over-ripe ones (last year we tried but the weeds took over). Aside from a few over-ripe ones though they have been pretty good.

Last night at Bibletime Dad read about Nebuchadnezzar’s second dream, the one about the big tree getting cut over.

Jacob (Nebuchadnezzar) and Jesse (Daniel) acted out the story while Dad read.

Daniel is very deep in thought about Nebuchadnezzar's dream.

Nebuchadnezzar turned into a wild beast.

Little kids were very attentive!

Today Meg came out and walked with Mom. She brought Joe out also and he stayed for the afternoon.
