Just to see some of the changes as she’s grown older … oy! Talking with her is now making a lot more sense than it once did. She apparently has a rule: Do at least one amazing thing a day. On today’s menu was an out of nowhere singing of the chorus of "It’s A Small World." That’s not too out of the ordinary, I suppose, but she hasn’t heard that song since she was a baby (according to Mom Xtina, who long ago stopped singing it). That was followed by a neat demonstration of chronological awareness, in a sentence somewhat along the lines of "Kylie was at my birthday party yesterday." Amazing.

I’ve said before, and I’ll say again, the thing I regret most about moving to the big city is leaving Frank, Xtina, and Allison behind. There’s so much joy and love there, I can’t stand missing out on any of it.

Speaking of joy and love –

We’re getting ready for my brother’s wedding this weekend. If you look back in this column, you’ll see weddings have often been a topic. This wedding will be much more personal, and it’s going to be difficult for me to share the experience here; but I will try. The column will be a little late next week due to wedding festivities. (Morgan’s getting married on a Sunday, so look for it Monday or Tuesday.) We’ll eventually have some photos, and stuff, so stay tuned.

By the way, this makes it official: With Morgan marrying the very lovely Lydia, everyone I know will now be married or engaged. Way to go, everyone I know!
