fireside

R has really enjoyed helping make fires in our fireplace on the chilly days this winter. The kids love looking for sticks and crinkling the paper to get it going. As we sat by the fire, D decided to read Don Quixote to the kiddos and R climbed right up in his lap. R watched the fire and listened to the strange story and seemed entranced by it all. I adored the sweet moment. Much to D's enjoyment, the next time we built a fire, R asked D to read again from the big book. And they snuggled again by the fire. These are the precious moments.
