they named her aurora after the dawn for she filled their lives with sunlight

I just made a fantastically obvious discovery: I am blog with my telephone. Obviously. Sso here I am typing away on the playground of an elementary school. We walked here a couple hours ago... Kids will burn out soon. Morgan is growing a lot these days, every day she looks older and taller. She even speaks like she is older. Her birthday was last week, turned 5, and this change in age definitely coincides with changes in morgan's mind and body. Its incredible how fast this happens.

On a similar note- katniss is growing FAST. Already she is bigger- wider and taller. She is so adorable, we are absolutely in love with her.

Also in love with our place. I was standing in the middle of the backyard this morning and admiring the amount of sky we can see. So much sky.
Last night I walked kat as it was getting dark. It felt powerful out, the air full of life, the sky darkening slowly. It struck me how we lose our moments one by one, we experience and then they're gone, one by one. I need to slow my mind, I forget to forget myself. Its not enough to say life is short, for life is so quick in the grand sceme of things its a moment. I think if we all fully realized this we would have a hard time not gazing around constantly in love with our breathe, touches, heart beat. We would never get anything done if we fully realized the brevity of our time with eyes open and able to speak.
I found some letters yesterday: postcards from my dad's time in hawaii- I must have been about 7, I cried my eyes out reading them last night. What a loving dad I have. Must write him these sentiments. Also found a letter frm my grandpa jim, must be during my transition from high school to college. Found another from grandma sandy that is about friendship, I must have sent her a letter about loving my girlfriends because its theme is friendship and gals. I don't remember receiving any of these letters but I am thankful for them. And now I find myself in that position of missing people who are gone,for feeling like I should have made more contact with them, more connection, spent more time. I know I'm not alone here. Its an impossible situation because what is done is done, once death comes getting to know that person, that opportunity has died too.
