52 on Friday Project {Week 10- Stormy Weather}

This week’s theme for the 52 on Friday project that we are participating in was “Stormy Weather”.  Lucky for us, God decided to open up the heavens today!  When I saw this week’s theme I thought about ideas like Lightening shots or Puddle Jumping.  I strongly considered the latter, but my subject (our sweet Adalyn) has strep throat for the 5th time this year!  Soo I went back to the drawing board!  Then I remembered something I did as a child during every thunder storm.  I was not the typical kid who was scared of storms, I LOVED them and still do!  Every time it stormed I would grab a big blanket and wrap it around myself, and then I would sit at our back screen door to watch it rain.  This memory is one of the first ones I can remember back to from my childhood.  I guess I still kind of do that now as an adult.  Every time it rains and if it’s not too cold, I open up the windows to listen to the rain.  It calms me and just makes me happy!  After I had opened up the windows this morning, I couldn’t help but think back to my childhood when I saw our daughter, Adalyn, and a little boy I babysit for, Carter, watching the rain out our living room window.  How sweet are they!  And yes, the little boy is holding a Barbie, but let that be our little secret, okay?  We have definitely enjoyed the beautiful sunshine the past few weeks, but every once in awhile a rainy day is just what we need!
