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

4-28-15 Picnic

After singing at Restmor, we were blessed with a beautiful day for a picnic. Fellowship was sweet, and I guess that’s why I just didn’t get many pictures taken. Our kids had a great time, and it sure seemed like our guests did too.

Lots of littles which was wonderful!

4-25-15 Kittens Etc.

by Kate

One morning Josh wanted to snuggle while I was on the couch. For some reason he had his jeans on but still had his pj shirt on…….guess he got tired of getting dressed and decided to take a break.

Thursday was Jacob’s 17th birthday.

Mom got these really cool candles that re-light after they’re blown out. It was the perfect joke on Jake because he is the kind of guy that gets them out in one blow……only to find out he didn’t get them in one blow and they started flaming again. It was pretty funny!

The wind died after supper so it was a nice evening outside.

Tabby’s kittens are the new thing around here…..they’re just old enough to start playing with and petting. Their little tails that stick up in the air when they walk are the cutest.
