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.

I let Elijah have the last bit of (flat) Diet Dr Pepper in the two liter bottle in the fridge…because I’m nice like that…and Kyra asked him for a sip of it. To which he responded by chugging the DDP with no intent of sharing.

Kyra: “Jesus doesn’t like what you’re doing, Elijah. You’re supposed to share.”

Elijah: <chug, chug, chug>

Kyra: “Elijah! Jesus really wants you to share with me.”

Elijah: <takes a deep breath to get a little oxygen after all the smug chugging> “Well, God doesn’t like you because you’re not doing your schoolwork!”

Kyra: “That doesn’t mean God doesn’t like me! He just doesn’t like that I’m not doing my schoolwork. He still wants me to have a drink of your diet dr pepper.”
