In my favorite poem by Robert Frost, Nothing Gold Can Stay, he reminds us that like the seasons of nature, life is one season melting into another, and quickly fading away. This is my attempt to document each season in my life and my family.

Election Day 2008

Filed under: Elijah, Family, General, Kids, Kyra, Owen, Photos — Rachel at 12:39 pm on Tuesday, November 4, 2008

This year, Chris and I took the kids with us to vote. We wore our patriotic red, white, and blue, because we’re cheesy like that.

Here are the kids outside of the house when we were fixing to leave to go vote.

Here we are outside of the voting location.

Owen sat like a good boy in the folding chairs they had set up, while Kyra and Elijah went in the voting booth with me. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a photo of that.

So, we did our part, and that’s all we can do. We cast our vote for the McCain/Palin ticket, and our little ones learned a little bit about the electoral process. Owen learned to say “John McCain”, and Kyra understands a basic idea of what a Vice President does.

Now…we wait.

I think it’s funny that you said “Fixing to leave.” My DH is constantly making fun of me for saying “fixing to.” I’m not the only one! And thanks for your vote for McCain/Palin – I’m still sad about the election, but have faith that God will take care of us, as He always does. :-)
