Let It Rain!

I was in the back of the house as it started to rain this afternoon. I heard Caden whining, "No, no!" A few seconds later, Antoinette (our houseworker) came to tell me, "Caden just ran outside in the rain and refuses to come in." I told her it was OK as long as it was just rain and no thunder/lightning. I, being the good blogging mommy, grabbed the camera and ran to the door.
If only we all had Caden's attitude about rain...run and enjoy it before it's gone!Within a few minutes, he was completely soaked. Love it!

And a few more reminders of why I chose to be a stay-at-home Mommy...
I love that I am at home to catch these moments exactly as they happen. It's hard work that is rewarding when you witness the joys of childhood!!!

I'm so glad you made that comment about stay-at-home mommies. It was a good reminder to me why I chose this life too, and that I need to be better about treasuring the joys of childhood.

Amen! I even used to love to run and play in the rain even in college! Caden and Corban are getting cuter and cuter! Give them a hug and kiss for me!

I am thankful that you can be a stay at home mommy,too. I love what I do,now, but the years I was a stay at home mommy were the best!

Our kids love to play in the rain! They even played football with Daddy a few Sunday's ago in the rain.

Thank you for your comment on stay-at-home mommys. I TOTALLY agree with you! I wouldn't miss it for the world!

Hey Sweet Boys,
Caden - you are just too cute running and soaking up the rain!
Corban - You look sooooo much like someone Gamma & Papa lived with about 30 years ago!
You are both too precious!
love you to the moon & back, G & P xoxo
