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

PonDays

I guess technically this was last Saturday evening so it wasn’t a day at all. Well so let’s not get technical then.

Monday after doing a whole slew of jobs and laundry, we headed down again.  Jewel was all tuckered out and just about fell asleep Smile.

Josh helped me make a pretty neat drip castle.

Well we don’t go to the pond every day, and this was Tuesday when I was gone much of the morning and then had to catch up in the afternoon. Sweet big sister Kate took this crew to U. Harley’s creek to catch minnows and crawfish for the zoo.

Somewhere along the line their trek turned into a mudfight.

Dad was pretty impressed with my garage sale bargain.

Tuesday evening the big kids were gone, and Josh wanted to fish but the girls didn’t. And just who says you have to fish or swim at a pond? They all enjoyed their pond time in their own way!
