Rain Rain Rain...

I have never lived in a place where it will rain for 24 hours straight before! For those of you who know Eirik, you know that he likes to be on the move... ALL THE TIME! Every morning around 8:30 he goes to the door to get everyone's shoes and brings them to us and cries until we put them on. No matter how much we explain that we are not going anywhere, he insists. Yesterday morning Eirik went to the door at 8:30, looked out the window and said, "WET", "BRELLA!!", "MOMMY'S SHOES!" "EIDIT'S SHOES" and then insisted on going outside. Now there are plenty of mornings when he cries and cries and we still just don't go anywhere just because he wants to, but this time, "Idit" and Mommy went for a long walk in the rain and got soaked. It was pretty fun, and didn't put a damper at all on his enthusiasm. Several of our neighbors have ceramic bunnies, dogs, cats, windmills, or yard ornaments with bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies. He has memorized where all of these are and insists on visiting them everytime. He is so smart.

Cute! That's what everyone does up here in the Northwest, if you let the rain get you down, you don't go anywhere.

You are such a good mommy! I always admired that about you from the time you had that little guy! You are so real and genuine with him and makes sure he experiences life to the fullest!

He is so smart!!!! That's awesome you went rain walking. The other day it "misted" here for a few hours. That rocked. Too bad you weren't here to walk in the clouds. We miss you!

What a cutie! That makes me think of Atticus who is younger but exhibiting similar traits (just at an younger develpment stage). I just love exploring the world with him. It's truly one of my favorite things as a Mom and it sounds like it's the same for you.

By the way, we went to Monterey Bay today and ran into a Del-Sol. We went in and the guy working there was from UT and said he's met you, (Seth Cox). Anyway, it was so fun to remember those days when I worked on the sun paintings fo you (which were very amateur now that I'm thinking back to them!).

Have you heard the loudest thunder in the world yet? It's crazy how loud it is there. I actually kind of miss it.
