Campfires!

     There are moments when life seems so complicated. Bills to pay, deadlines to meet, laundry to get done... AGAIN! Every day seems to bring a new set of problems that we have to work through. But when stop to look at our lives, it's really not as complicated as it seems. Bills DO get paid, deadlines all get met and the laundry gets done and folded all over again. And every problem that seems to arise on a daily basis somehow work themselves out. We spend so much of our time wishing for simpler time. What we fail to realize is that we are living in a simpler time. We may have to create it but when we take the time to make life simple, we get the best memories life has to offer. It's only then that our memories of time with children and moments with our spouse don't get over shadowed by "complications" and they are free to be exactly what they are: Precious Memories!

Here is Campbell and Carson having a tea party with Mim. What a priceless picture! These are the moments that will turn into precious memories not clouded or interupted by... well... life!

Camping trip in our new camper. What a great purchase! Going camping with your family demands that you spend time together. There is no crisis that can come up to take your mind away from each other.

Thank God for a husband who can set up a camper!

This is the veiw from our campsite... not to shabby!

Take a look at this! MERCY! This is what I'm talking about all wrapped up into one single shot! Perfection! Simple! Beautiful!

Family Time by the campfire! Carson is close by he just didn't make it in the shot

See... told you! There he is!

This is the best thing to ever happen to me. I chose wisely and after so many years together, I still feel as though I am the luckiest girl in the world!

Already priceless...

This sums it all up... A campfire! Smores over the open flames. There is nothing as mezermizing as a campfire. It is freakishly calming and somehow makes everything slow down.

Thank you Lord for simple days that I get to spend looking into a campfire.

I pray that someday soon... you will make the time to build a campfire with your family and take time stare into and take some pictures to document the calm...
