steve's old helmet, hanging in our garage

loved this with the color select...

color was nice too...giving bailey a kiss before work...

yesterday i learned that the firefighter killed in the la city house fire was known by a friend's husband, who worked with him. While i am not naive about the dangers of the job, i tend to put it out of my head until it comes crashing back when something so tragic happens. While steve is no longer "on the front lines" daily, his current position has it's own set of dangers, not to mention the overtime(when they happen) shifts occur during times of need, such as a big fire. I thought to take a couple of pictures today to both commemorate the fallen firefighter, while at the same time, celebrating my own(and often taken for granted)personal hero.
