Marshmallow Madness

We had our first bonfire of the year last night.

Roasting marshmallows, making s'mores, 

sitting and just staring at the fire.

It was chilly but nice

and it left me anxious for the (hopefully)

many more bonfires we'll have this year.

(just a side note):

If you ever give Ellie a s'more, 

she'll eat it, get it all over her hands..

and then turn into a wild animal.

Be warned.

Littlest Sister (on your birthday)

Wishing you the sweetest, happiest day.

Happy Birthday Ellie!

"All the days ordained for me were written in your book 

before on of them came to be."

Spoiled Rotten

Think we love our dog? I'm going to say most definitely, yes.

A Little Snow Was Here and There

A little snow was here and there

Disseminated in her hair

Since she and I had met and played

Decade had gathered to decade.

-Emily Dickinson, A Little Snow Was Here and There

Ellie

I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. 

Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

                         -Psalm 139:14

The Simple Things

Taking time to enjoy the little things- like the snow falling- because life's too short to be worried and upset over silly, trivial things.
