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.

Here are Kyra and Elijah hard at work peeling their clementines. Elijah was so proud of himself. He kept saying, “Me do it all by myself, Mama.”

An Interview with Superman

I apologize to all of you without a high speed connection. This movie is kind of long (about four minutes, I think). It’s really cute, though, so I had to share it.

Kyra’s Rendering of Mommy

So, last night at church, Kyra drew this lovely picture, and said that it was me. I held it up to show Brooke and Faith who were standing there talking to me, and said, “It looks just like me, doesn’t it?”
To which Kyra said, “Yeah, except it’s prettier.”

Then, I pulled the dagger from my heart, and laughed. Kids say the darndest things, right? Yeah, right. Little brats. (Kidding!) (Kind of.) (Yes, I’m kidding.) (Sorta.) (No, I am. I’m kidding.)

An Afternoon Photo Shoot

Filed under: Photos, Uncategorized — Rachel at 7:32 pm on Monday, November 27, 2006


Owen woke up from his morning nap, today, and I thought he looked completely adorable peeking over the side of his bassinet. Of course I ran for the camera. When I left the room, though, he thought I was just leaving him, and he started to cry. So, he looks quite sad in this picture.


Then, Kyra came along to help cheer him up.


A little kiss will make it better.

What’s he looking at so attentively?


Why, his big sister, Kyra, of course. Owen loves Kyra.


Even with the crazy, hack-job of a haircut, the cuteness is almost unbearable.

Kyra sang a crazy, made up song to Owen, and tried to hog his video.


They are just two little peas in a pod.


She’s just so darn cute!!!


Kyra took a turn behind the camera.


And we end the pictorial of our pajama party with the classic “hold the camera out and take your own picture” shot.
