So, yesterday it rained. It actually rained a lot. I took the baby out on the front porch to see the rain. He looked so shocked! What happened to the outside? Everything was dark and wet. There were new sounds and sights! I walked down the steps of the porch to let him feel the raindrops on his hands and face for a few seconds. He started looking up at the sky, with deep concern in his eyes. Where was this water coming from? Amazing. Everything is so new. Everything is appreciated for its uniqueness. Rain makes a wonderful sound. When is the last time I listened? Rain makes everything smell differently. When is the last time I noticed? Life is really full of wonder. I think it is easy to forget that. Who knew my baby boy had so much to teach me. Thank you God for giving me this opportunity to see the world through my infant son's eyes.

Babies always seem to amaze us don't they. I have this great picture of Hosea when he was small (already walking though)playing in the rain in front of our apartment on the porch. He always wanted ot go outside when it rained (still does for that matter). In fact just a little while ago both boys made their way outside to play in a mud puddle in our backyard. I can not believe how much Raymond has grown. He is a beautiful baby. I think we should try to get together soon.
