Rain and Shine

Hey all!  My final paper for class was due on Wednesday which is why I didn’t get some of these pictures up earlier.  Last weekend it RAINED!!!  Seriously I have never seen rain that hard last that long—it was both impressive and a little annoying!  But it finally dried up early in the week and gave us a couple of nice, sunny days this weekend.  Now that the rain has stopped, it definitely feels like summer here; it is hot and humid!  Hence, you can count on seeing a lot of beach pictures for a while.  I plan on keeping my pregnant belly submerged in the ocean as much as possible this summer :)

Back to last weekend though . . .

We couldn’t keep Logan cooped up all weekend, so Jake put him in swim trunks and a rain jacket and sent him outside to play in the flooded driveway.  Logan loved it!

The drainage ditch on the edge of the neighborhood, which normally has a creek perhaps six inches to a foot deep, was at least six feet high and overflowed its banks.

Of course, with all that rain we spent a lot of time inside, playing in Mom’s boots,

playing in boxes,

and reading books.

When the weather finally did clear up, we were able to get out to a park with our good friends Carol and Daniel.  This is the best shot I was able to get of the boys together.

Saturday at Tropical Beach.  Okay, so I don’t exactly look pregnant, but I certainly don’t look like my normal self.  The contrast between the tan shoulders and legs and the pale belly is pretty fabulous though, don’t you think?

Logan spent some time just relaxing in the sand.

We were back at the beach on Sunday, but that turned out to be something special and merits its own entry—coming very soon!  Until then, g’night all!
