By The Fireside: November 2010

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...

Merry & Bright

Last Saturday, we grabbed our Canon (along with my brother to photograph!) and headed to historic downtown Glendale, one of our favorite local spots, for Christmas pictures! It's always eventful attempting to reign in two enthusiastic huskies, and one unenthusiastic husband (heh) but we managed to get some fun shots! Enjoy :)

I love that sweet Emma :-)

They are NOT cooperating...and I am amused :)

::MUSH::

This is probably my favorite from the lot -from an artistic standpoint. I love how both the girls are looking straight at the camera (thanks to Abigail who's antics we're quite amusing in effort to get the dogs to look at her) :)
