Our First Fire


The cold outside last week urged us onwards to go get our first load of firewood: that we did. With coats on, the three of us headed out to gather a load of logs and rush back to crinkle balls of paper and stash them beneath a few splintered pieces of wood and set it ablaze. Our first fire was lit last week, and it was another "first" for Maddy, as this is her first winter since she entered the world almost sixteen months ago. As we watched the wood pop, crack, and make hushing sounds, little Madster sat in awe and gazed upon a peaceful fire in her warm and peaceful home.

We had our first fire last night and I was going to post about that too!! Angel was also fascinated by the sounds...makes me a little worried since she is now mobile and I don't want her to get burned. We actually have a wood stove, so it gets very hot...we got a fireplace gate, so hopefully we won't have any burns!! Enjoy and stay warm!
