Our Beautiful Pond (minus all the people)

Dean's sister, Alaina, took these beautiful photos of our pond area. It is such a beautiful, peaceful sanctuary. It was the very useful site of the 2009 Morgan Family Reunion and we hope many good memories were made here.

The last movie my dad worked on before retiring is coming out into theaters!  Can't wait for GI JOE!

Beach Day

Beach Day - Oceanside Pier

There were tons of people - just a few feet between each group of people, which was really fun when the tide came in and everyone started moving back onto everyone else.  But crowds aside, the weather was absolutely perfect.

Kaylee was so brave and just got out there.  I didn't have Caden there, so I was a little nervous, but she did great!  

Thanks to Emily, Lucas, and Alex for driving.  We had a fun time!

Slow Dance

(This poem was written by a teenager with cancer)

Have you ever watched kids

On a Merry-go-round?

Or listened to the rain

Slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a 

Butterfly’s erratic flight?

Or gazed at the sun 

Into the fading night?

You better slow down.

Don’t 

dance so 

fast...

Time is short.

The music won’t last.

Do you run through each day

On the fly?

When you ask “How are you?”

Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done

Do you lie in your bed

With the next hundred chores

Running through your head?

You’d better slow down

Don’t 

dance so 

fast...

Time is short.

The music won’t last.

Ever told your child,

“We’ll do it tomorrow”

And in your haste,

Not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch,

Let a good friendship die

Cause you never had time

To call and say, “Hi”?

You’d better slow down.

Don’t 

dance so 

fast...

Time is short.

The music won’t last.

When you run so fast

To get somewhere,

You miss half the fun

Of getting there.

When you worry and hurry

Through your day,

It is like an unopened gift...

Thrown away.

Life is not a race.

Do 

take it 

slower...

Hear the music 

Before the song is over.
