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.

Fun Day

Chris and I took the kids to Dollywood today. Kind of a “last hoorah” before Chris leaves. It was hot, but not unbearably so. They rode some rides, played in the water, and we all ate a lot of junk. Owen had so much fun playing in the little playground at Dreamland Forest. It’s made specifically for little bitty kids. He was so happy. All smiles. He is learning to walk, and he was doing so well there at the playground. He was taking ten plus steps at a time.

We came home, put the kids to bed, and Chris and I just finished watching a movie. We watched Flyboys. It was really good. If you haven’t seen it, you ought to. While I’m on the subject of moives, we watched The Last Sin Eater a couple of nights ago, and it was pretty good, too. I liked it a lot, but Chris didn’t like it as much. So, if you do watch either of those two, let me know what you think. If you all hate them, I might have to keep my movie recommendations to myself.

Anyway, I’m headed to bed now. I just couldn’t go to bed without blogging today. Be good, people!

I have seen The Last Sin Eater and I agree with you. Terrific film with an amazing message of forgiveness. Rarely do movies like this come out of Hollywood. I encourage everyone to see it!

I loved The Last Sin Eater! I had read the book (which is excellent - definitely a must-read even if you’ve already seen the movie) and was so excited to see it brought to screen. My hubby enjoyed it, but did struggle with the quality - boys are so silly. I tried telling him that there weren’t supposed to be any special effects, but…

I’m praying for your family and the upcoming separation - just wanted you to know. (((Rachel)))

Thanks, Elise! And, you’re right. Boys are silly. Chris and Elijah watched the last fight seen of Spiderman about a dozen times this morning.
