March 2024
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

TK Christmas 2024

Family Christmas 2024 started off with some unwanted excitement when a silly cow tried to sneak into the creep feeder (boxy frame feeder thing built to keep cows out but let calves in) and got royally stuck. Dad & Josh finally got the dumb cow out, but not before Dad landed on his back in the pen (interpret: manure) and Josh was pretty well coated with slime as well.




 After a couple of very hot soapy showers, all was well; and we enjoyed a delicious brunch. 


Fastest story ever πŸ˜‚



A few gifts ~





Josh's knife was highly admired😏


and researched. If I remember right, it was deemed to be almost a century old.



Beautiful day


πŸ’—

 


Horse ride for one,


walk for others.


I got to stay home and take care of RafeπŸ’•
When everyone returned, I did a quick walk to the lake.


After our annual pizza supper, it was time for the annual program...my favorite part of the day. I didn't get a picture of Jasper at the piano; but he did great. Kiowa taught him a song!


She taught Flint tooπŸ’™


Precious to see this little crowd sing a song and recite Psalm 100.
(I thinkπŸ˜‘ Hard for me to remember that long ago)


πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™


Beautiful


Ditto


And ditto


Meanwhile ~
