Wow! It was really raining in North Texas today! Several times during the day, our street looked more like a river than a road. When Lu was first born we had a period of very excessive rain. After that, we have not had much at all. Lucy was quite mesmerized by all of it when she got up this morning. 

   
Khaliyah was pretty impressed too.     Rain can really make you sleepy though. When Lucy woke up from her morning nap, the rain had slowed quite a bit so we ran to the store. We were there for almost 2 hours. Even though I held her for the entire time, Lucy was fabulous! She talked to people as they passed by, smiled at everyone, and then took a 2 1/2 hour nap. She really wore herself out! I was even able to go get the boys from the bus stop without taking her out of her car seat. Lucy discovered the baby doll that Emmy gave her when she woke up this afternoon. She just kept squealing and talking to it.
