Events, vacations, birthdays, testimonies, celebrations; anything you can think of that a family has done together.
We have harvested our first batch of pure, raw West Virginia honey this year and are now excited to be able to offer it for sale at the online family store! When we almost ran out this spring and had to ration our use of honey, the kitchen crew was forced to try and figure […]
A lot has happened since the FEW conference last weekend! The Lord blessed Robert, Kendalyn, Sauntina, Daniel and I with a safe trip and though I miss my family very much, I am enjoying getting to know the incredible IBLP staff and am loving my work here. I am so grateful for the Lord’s direction […]
We were so blessed to have Chad and Alissa Christiansen, their two girls, Katherine and Kaylee, and Alissa’s sister, Julie Alspaugh, spend a few days with us and speak at our church! They are a living testimony that God’s ways work and there are no regrets when you wholeheartedly follow the Lord and trust Him! […]

It was such a blessing to have James home for a few weeks! He is so much fun to have around! Jonathan went hiking with him one day and another day David joined them behind the barn for an all-nighter in the woods! We also had our first Canada-vacation-planning-session while he was here and we […]

We have great memories growing up of walking into Grandpa and Grandma’s house smelling the glorious stew ready and waiting to welcome us to West Virginia. Grandpa is the one who taught us how to make rhubarb jelly which […]
