Running a small business means there's always another tree to remove, logs to load, trucks to drive, equipment to maintain, and a crew counting on you. I wouldn't trade it for anything, but every now and then it's important to hit pause and enjoy some time with family.
This week included a family trip to New York City to see Wicked on Broadway with Lindsey and Juliette, homemade pizza from the wood-fired oven, wrapping up the work week with Owen and Dillen on a light logging job, and bringing home our "new-to-us" 2016 Western Star log truck.
We feel incredibly blessed to be able to replace our faithful 1998 log truck after many years of service. The new truck has all the bells and whistles, and based on the smiles—and popsicles—I’d say it passed Cole and Juliette’s inspection with flying colors!
After a busy stretch, we're looking forward to slowing down for a couple of days and spending some quality time together as a family. Hopefully Mother Nature gives us a break from all the rain—but even if she doesn't, we'll make the most of it.
Wishing everyone a relaxing weekend. However you spend it, I hope you get a chance to recharge, count your blessings, and enjoy time with the people who matter most. See you Monday!
