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.

Kid Quote

I was sitting at my computer desk, when Elijah and Kyra came running up to me. Elijah had a very odd look on his face, and Kyra looked a little worried.

Kyra: “Mama, I had a little accident.”

Me: “What happened?”

Elijah just looked at me with big, blue eyes.

Kyra: “Well, I accidentally spilled a little Mountain Dew on Elijah’s hair?”

Me: “What? How do you accidentally spill a little Mountain Dew on your brother?”

Elijah just took his hat off, held it six inches above his head to show the entirety of his hair soaked with Mountain Dew, looked pitifully at me, and put his hat back on.

I just laughed. That’s all. What else can you do when your kids obviously have problems.
