singing in the rain...

two posts in one day? i know! but, this was too good not to share.

a typical florida thunderstorm rolled in as we were finishing up dinner. emma, our water baby, had to see what all the fuss was about.  what happened later was 20 minutes of absolute delight.  her squeals of laughter and excitement filled the evening air as water droplets drenched our bodies.  ryan and i laughed hysterically as she ran back and forth into and out of the rain with the hugest of smiles.

these are the moments that make you realize the way in which having a child really changes you. would we have ever thought to dance in the rain on a random sunday night? probably not.  but, with emma in our lives, we are reminded of the beauty in the simple things, things we may otherwise take for granted.  as a parent, you think you are the one doing all the teaching....but in reality, as we see the world again through the eyes of a child, our emma, it's clear that she is not the only one learning :)

the low grumble of distant thunder, the cooling of the hot summer air....the feeling of raindrops on our faces and puddles beneath our feet....perfect!

thanks, baby girl :) singing in the rain made our night!
