simple joys

Just last week I was thinking about how our kids haven't had much experience with raindrops on their faces, the joy of stomping in puddles, the clean smell after a good rain, etc. How quickly our weather has changed! This week they've experienced all this and more. Several systems have moved through bringing thunderstorms, very gusty winds, more rain than we've had in months and even a tornado warning yesterday! The kids have enjoyed splashing in puddles every chance they get.
