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

Beauty

Last Wednesday September 23 was an unusually beautiful morning: cloudy/gray sunrise in the east, 


cloudy rainbow in the west.



Walking with Natalie later - storm to the south of us, golden beanfield was stunning.


A few cutests and their mom joined us later for lunch. 
"Aye-aye"


😍



Josh has been picking up acorns and spreading them in various locations in the south grove and pasture where hopefully some oak trees will grow.



More beauty.


Checking out house progress after supper.


Still more beauty.



Friday


School and Friday jobs and mowing and two sweet little boys.


Showing off his new skill!


Lainey came awhile to hang out.


Brandi was asking so nicely for Trav to share his cookie. Incidentally, Brandi's new name is "No no," bc that's what Travis and Jason say to her all the time. It's pretty cute!


It's been a beautiful week. Brilliant blue skies, cool fall temps, sunshine and fluffy white clouds. My favorite season.

He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. 
Jeremiah 10:12
