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.

Study Break

 I took these pictures a couple of weeks ago. Was going to blog about being a college student slash mommy. It took me so long to get to it, I forgot what I was going to write. So, instead, here’s some pictures.

This is where I spend  half my time…at the kitchen table, the laptop in front of me, and my books (which you can’t see in the photo..trust me, they’re there) open on the table.

See, this is what I was looking at. Textbook, study notes, and my index card of handwritten notes I was allowed to take with me to my Western Civ Exam.

This is the baby who interrupts my understanding of Social Darwinism.

I would rather socialize with a huggy baby boy than study socialism any day.

This is the shaggy-headed little boy who needed help putting his mittens on. I don’t know why. He wanted to hug me before he left. As you can see, Owen took issue with that.

This is the thoughtful little girl who sits across the table doing her own projects.

So, tell me, Friend…is it any surprise to you that I got a B instead of an A on that exam? :)

Priorities…I guess that’s my point.

Well sis I’m impressed you made a “B”. If i had three kids hanging on me I would fail. And by the way I miss my sissy, so you need to come visit me.

Seth, I’ll try to make it up to see you soon. We’re all sick right now. Love you.

I think I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again…I’m glad I got school over with before the kids came. Now that I actually have a baby, I know I could not do it. I can barely keep our clothes clean. :)
