Nuggets Along the Trail: 5-8-15 Just For Fun

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

5-8-15 Just For Fun

Awhile back I was going through some old scrapbooks and found this gem of a picture. Isn’t that a cute bunch of little kids??!! Most of you Tremont-ites know these people, so I thought I’d see if anyone recognizes them.

Just for fun, I have a bag of m’n’ms for the first person to leave a comment and correctly name them all. Winner must also state why they were all together nicely posing for a picture on our front steps!

I am guessing they are on your front porch for something Sunday School related. And is this the porch of the very first house that you and Tim lived in? If so, maybe it has something to do with the fact that all those Wagenbach kids lived down the road from you.
