We lived in a desert for too long!

Yesterday was a gorgeous day! It was in the 80's and sunny until dinner time when we got hammered with thunderstorms. It came out of the blue. Alaina looked out of the patio door and saw it raining. She then looked at me upset and said, "Uh Oh! Daddy spilled!" My poor daughter has seen rain so few times that she assumed that because it was wet outside, someone spilled something, and of course Mommy would never spill anything (yeah right...) so it must have been Daddy. Anyhow, that had Dave and I laughing for at least 5 minutes. Alaina laughed right along with us. Now we are waiting for a nice gentle rain that we can all go out and play in. Maybe then, next time it rains, Alaina will know that it is rain and Daddy didn't spill.

Tonight I got a few pictures of Leo attempting to crawl. He now can get up on his hands and knees but either falls forward without moving his hands or tries to move a hand and looses balance. He can army crawl and log roll to get where he wants to go, but he is still trying to get the hang of the traditional crawl. He and Daddy matched today! Completely unplanned, but cute!

If she gets scared of the thunderstorms, tell her God is bowling - seemed to help my kids not be afraid of the storms. After a really bad storm Anthony was afraid of the train whistle we told him the train was saying Hiiii Anthony that helped too.

Love Auntie Pam

I remember being told that when it rained God was crying. Because even God gets sad.
Before you know it Leo will be running all over the place & you'll be wiped out chasing him. haha
