It's Raining, It's Pouring

Olivia was singing "it's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring"..... She must have learned that song at summer camp.
It has been raining here a lot. But I don't mind. I LOVE the rain! Of course this comes from growing up in the great Northwest. As a little kid I would listen the rain running down the gutters of my house and it was a comforting feeling. I miss it. I love the sounds outside when it rains. Water splashing, draining.... and I love the smell.
Rain in Moscow is similar to rain in Vancouver, Wa. Steady, sometimes a drizzle. Nothing like rain in Texas where it is a massive downpour and flooding everywhere. The rain here makes me feel like I am home in Washington.
Enough of this nostalgia! Time to go curl up and read a good book!

Okay... I had to add to this. This morning around 6:00 a.m. we had a TEXAS sized thunderstorm. Woke up both kids (and Matt slept through it!)

It's been blistering hot and drier than normal here, ugh (of course we are die hard Texas homebodies and will trudge through it). I bet you are lovin' the rain and the great experience it must be to be there. It's fun to see the photos of the girls, they are so precious.

I started a blog (finally), so you can click on me and check it out. It's pretty minimal right now, but I'll work on it.

Take care!
Love ya',
