An Evening in Front of the Fireplace...
Posted in Family Fun
Most of the day, the weather was gorgeous.
Just the right temp and a beautiful breeze.
Towards dusk, however, the air became quite a bit chilly.
So while Ally and I made supper, my husband and our son
decided to build a fire in the fireplace...
Will was so excited to help his daddy.
He was thrilled to exercise his muscles
in helping to bring in the logs...
They were both proud of their work together
(as was I)...
The lil' girls enjoyed it, too...
After supper, we all sat in the den,
in front of the fireplace, to read aloud.
My husband started reading aloud
"The Little Preacher" by Elizabeth Prentiss.
We all listened and ate popcorn as he read aloud the first chapter.
Afterwards, Dad threw a few unpopped popcorn kernels in the fire,
so the children could watch them pop...
It was an evening that warmed our hearts and home.

What a precious time together for all of you! Thank you for sharing the photos. The one with dad and son is a tear-jerker-keeper if I ever saw one. :-)
Thanks for the encouragement regarding my trying to balance my computer time. It's appreciated more than you know.

Hi there. l sure enjoyed viewing your fireplace photos. You have created lovely memories of this military move that will be far different from any others, right?
p.s. you should all camp out on your inflatable mattresses in that room with the fireplace and have the children all tell their favorite bible stories from memory. But those mattress.........not too close to the fireplace!
