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.

2008 Ornaments

Kyra’s Ornament

Elijah’s Ornament

Owen’s Ornament

I bought this ornament in memory of the Little One we lost this year. It’s not the best photo. I couldn’t get my camera to focus on it. I think it was the lighting. I really love the line from Horton Hears a Who that says, “A person’s a person, no matter how small.”

The Kiddos in their Easter finery. Kyra’s Easter dress was sleeveless, so she had to wear a shirt under it, since it was COLD. It was almost too cold to hunt Easter eggs.

The kids with their cousin, Keinzie.

Kyra looking sweet and pretty.

Elijah was saying, “Cheese!” He didn’t get that it defeated the purpose when he barked it out with a hateful look.

In pursuit of the easter eggs!
