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.

Belt Promotions for the Boys

Filed under: Activities, Elijah, Karate, Kids, Kyra, Owen, Videos — Rachel at 9:46 pm on Thursday, November 4, 2010

Our kids have been taking Isshinryu karate for the past couple of months, and our boys got promoted from a white belt to a white belt with a yellow stripe tonight. Kyra is in a class for older kids that doesn’t do things the same way. She will test for her yellow belt when she learns all of her kata.

Freedom Recitations by the Harmon Kids

Filed under: Elijah, Family, Kids, Kyra, Owen, School, Videos — Rachel at 5:12 pm on Wednesday, November 3, 2010

Kyra learned the poem, “Settler’s Song” for school.

Elijah learned a portion of the famous Liberty Speech by Patrick Henry.

Owen learned the short poem “Our History”.

(Our history sings of centuries,
Such varying songs it sings.
It starts with winds, slow-moving sails,
It ends with skies and wings.)
