“Mommy and Me” Monday

This weekend, our little family of three had a great time together. We have made a point of making Saturdays our “family days,” so that no other things (e.g. yard work, errands, home repairs, yada yada) encroach on our intentional time spent together. Saturday, we went and paid a visit to my in-laws’ pool, despite the possibility of scattered showers that afternoon. Wouldn’t you know it? We hadn’t been in the pool more than 10 minutes when we heard (yes, heard) the rain approaching. We tried to stick it out (since we were in the pool, after all), but Leah wasn’t a fan of the big, cold drops pelting her in the head. She and I sought refuge under the patio umbrella while Daddy seized the opportunity and got a picture.

The rain passed nearly as quickly as it had come, and we were able to resume our swimming and playing. It was a good afternoon, and for whatever reason, I keep thinking about the whole “caught in the rain” incident. It’s a good memory, and I’m thankful that I have a picture of it.

Watch for more memories in the making at Krystyn’s blog today.
