Singin' in the Rain

 Today was a rainy summer day ... the temperatures hovered in the mid-to-high 60s! It was a refreshing relief after all those hot days past.  Unfortunately, we had to get out and do some things to get ready for the school year, but once we got home, Miriam decided she wanted to play in the rain.  I was happy to let her as it beats having to give her a bath - ha!!  :)
 Our house has a long front porch that runs the length of it, and I can put a baby gate in the entry and let Miriam have her own outdoor "play room".  She managed to get SOAKING WET but had a great time!  I enjoyed having the front door open and letting the house air out, giving the air conditioner a break. 
After playing such a long time, we got dried off, put on jammies, and took a cozy nap on the couch.  Now we're "hunkered down" for the evening ... waiting for Dan to get off work, missing the 2 older kids who are with their grandparents for the week, enjoying the evening of just being HOME.
