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

Rejoicing

We are rejoicing with Jesse as his engagement to Lucy Wagenbach was announced Sunday!

- - - and then a picture of today. Yes it snowed all day again! And while it was very pretty and I was snuggly warm inside, I’ll still be glad to see it go tomorrow with the forecast 60 degrees.

A glimpse of what’s to come - - - more and more and more and more mud Confused smile.

Won’t miss that either, but we gotta have the mud before we get the spring!

And with that, this blog is caught up!!

Flirt malefor awhile anyways . . .

Days Go By...

....extremely quickly. We've been keeping several littles here lately and, although we're loving every minute of it and are so thankful for these opportunities, it doesn't seem to leave much time for blogging! So this post will hopefully get the ol' blog almost caught up. They say 'a picture is worth a thousand words,' so I'll just write through pictures this time.
