Rain

* It has been so hot! Everything is turning brown, but it is 1:30 in the morning and Tom and I just woke up to the most wonderful rain storm. I think of the people in Africa standing around a well with a bucket in their hands waiting and hoping. I am so thankful for rain.
* I got the greatest pictures of Jamie's boys today. They are shirtless, brown and so beautiful. I am longing to see them!
* Kelly's kids pictures were in the second envelope. My favorite ones from her blog. Kade with celery in this mouth, Maizie with a swim ticket around her wrist. Who would have ever thunk I''d be a grandma so proud of her grandchildren's pictures? I remember those weird people on airplanes showing off their family.
* Oh Matt!
