By The Fireside: Growing Girls!

By The Fireside

Who hasn’t sat around a campfire and watched how firelight changes the faces that surround the glowing embers? There is something so mysterious and lovely about the dancing flames and the charcoaled smoke as it rises into the evening sky. The flames - the light - transform ordinary logs of wood into a picturesque bonfire. As indigo ash whispers through the night air, we breathe in a new aroma, resigning ourselves to the blaze.

When we think about community, we often reflect upon the wonderful times we've shared by a fireside...a warm hearth in a friend's home, Christmas morning with precious family, or sweet sharing and song around a bonfire. Perhaps this vision most reminds us of our great cloud of witnesses; the inspiration behind this page. As we share our stories & photographs here, our hope is that we may renew, refresh, and rekindle our friendships by this fireside...

Growing Girls!

It's hard to believe Leona will be 5 months next week (Emma is 13 months).She is such a sweetheart and she and Emma have been best friends from the start...that is, as long as she stays away from Emma's beloved stuffed kong ;) She is growing up so quickly...20-ish lbs already and the most laid-back temperament. She a wonderful compliment to Emma's energetic personality! Kenny and I rather enjoy our "dog-children"...here are some recent pictures!
