A Much Needed Drink

I realize I haven't posted all week. It's just been one of those weeks, and to be honest, I haven't felt like or been in the mood to blog. So now I have a lot of catching up to do. I have quite a lot of pictures of the kids I've taken recently, and just haven't got them on here yet. So bear with me...especially the family members who read this!

Yesterday we got a nice surprise...a little thunder shower! I was standing in the kitchen and out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a flash.....could it really be? Yep...it was lightning! And then thunder! And YES!!!! FINALLY.....RAIN!!! I honestly can't remember the last rain we got...but it has to be at LEAST 6 weeks ago. So we got a much needed drink! (Not what you were thinking from the title now, was it?!) I think I actually heard the trees and grass say "aaaahhhhh"! It was glorious, but didn't last nearly long enough - only about 20 minutes! We need several days of this!

But it was long enough for Ruthi to have a little fun! The temperature dropped considerably, and it was quite windy, so I turned off the air and opened the doors. It didn't take long for Ruthi to get curious and step onto the back porch. So I did what any good mom would do - grab the camera! She had so much fun playing in the rain! Here are some of the shots I captured:

After church in the morning, we are headed down to the lake to spend a couple days on the boat. But when I get back, I'll start getting caught up with posting the tons of pictures I've been taking. Not to mention the ones I'll be taking at the lake!
