Another rainy day and I gear up for umbrellas, sniffly noses, stir crazy kids, hot chocolate and lots of water. I went into today with a negative attitude of how I hate the rainy days and want the sun to come back out. I secretly think I am part hybrid and need the sun to recharge my battery. Then I walk into the kitchen and watch Callen entranced with the rain and it completely changed my perspective. The rain that started as a burden all of the sudden became exciting and new. He just stood at the window staring and occasionally looking at me to make sure I was aware of this amazing phenomenon. It is moments like this that I wish I spoke baby so I could hear what he was saying. Did he tell me to stop and enjoy the beauty all around or explain how rain comes from the heavens where he so recently came from? All I can say is I did stop what I was doing, captured the moment and thanked my Heavenly Father for tender mercies - in this case it is the gift of a perfect little boy. What more could I ask for?

Who knew rain could be so mesmerizing? But I guess to a little one, it's pretty amazing. I feel the same about watching snow fall. I could do it all day (and I am, right this very minute!) Makes me want to curl up on a couch and sip hot chocolate!
Thank goodness we have kids who remind us of all our blessings.
That is a FABULOUS message!
he is too precious! i love him!...even if he doesnt love me yet :(
