Summer Rain

"How beautiful is the rain!

After the dust and the heat

In the broad and fiery street

In the narrow lane

How beautiful is the rain!'

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Summer Rain

He's made it a month! (Well... he's gotta make it one more day!)

Oh goodness! Look at that sweetness!

And he's VERY kissable!

We get to keep him?!?!

Well, little brother has made himself quite at home here in our little world. And it's wonderful. He's a really good little baby for Mommy, which means Elly and I can be just a little bit more naughty and it all evens out. At least that's how I look at it.

One of the best parts of the day is when...

... we let off a little steam before we go to bed.

Of course, that means taking it out on Daddy.

He doesn't mind... not one bit.

Baby JUDAH is here!!!!!!!!

And everything about him is wonderful.
