Fire Family: October 2009

Fireman's Prayer

When I am called to duty, God,
Whenever flames may rage;
Give me strength to save some life,
Whatever be its age.

Help me embrace a little child
Before it is too late
Or save an older person
From the horror of that fate.

Enable me to be alert
And hear the weakest shout,
And quickly and efficiently
To put the fire out.

I want to fill my calling
And to give the best in me
To guard my every neighbor
And protect his property.

And if, according to my fate,
I am to lose my life,
Please bless with your protecting
My children and my wife.

First Days of School

First day of school pictures at Gram's.

A tradition we've done since the first grandchild.

Now it's the next generation.

All the great-grandkids (at least the ones that live around here)

My kiddos with Great Gram:

Carson getting off the bus after his first day of school:

Gracie was anxiously waiting for him to get home:

They had a great time!

Every year we take a picture of the kids on the hay.
