Museums and gift shops and kids and stuff
Good morning, girls...
I spent a lot of time thinking about you yesterday, as I do every day, but a little more than usual. Dakota and I spent an awesome few hours touring the Long Beach Aquarium and the Queen Mary. So many things that you two will think are beautiful and a little scary there. We saw jellies and sharks and crab and squid and seals....
I stayed away from the gift shops, though, because I probably would have bought half the shop for you. See, Nana has "gift shop guilt". It comes from when I used to take your Mom on her school field trips. Papa and I were not making much money at the time, and usually all of my extra money went on gas to drive her as she got carsick on the bus. So, she would want to see the toys in the gift shop, and I seldom could afford to get her any more than a pencil. Now, she liked her pencils.....but I felt bad every time because she really was so well behaved on those trips and it would have been nice to reward her for that.
I hope I get to take you two on a field trip or two.
Love, Nana

A song you two both liked to hear...over and over and over....

I hear your name whispered on the wind
It's a sound that makes me cry
I hear a song blow again and again
Through my mind, and I don't know why..
I wish I didn't feel so strong about you
Like happiness and love revolve around you.
Trying to catch your heart
Is like trying to catch a star
So many people love you baby..
That must be what you are.
Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms, baby yeah..
