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

Winter

…is here, holidays are over, and so we dig in and hole up (kind of) and buckle down for the long haul of school until spring. College kids start again soon too, which for Jesse & Tori means they are starting their final semesters. Which is very exciting for all involved.

Anyway, a few px from yesterday.

Josh found a cozy spot to do his math (he’s sitting on the woodburner vent).

Electric train comes out when it snows and stays until spring. Farming has been profitable for all.

P1170982

Not much snow left but ice is plentiful. 360s on the driveway make me cringe but boys will be boys so I just say a prayer and look away after I take a picture (who wants a sissy boy anyway?).

P1170987

No snow? No problem. 4wheeling works on ice too. This crew came back wet where the creek was a little deeper than Ben thought.

Uhhhhh . . . yeah.

P1170989

Wow.

P1170991

Another wow.

P1170993

O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth. Psalm 96:9
