Rainbow hunt

The heavens FINALLY opened up this evening. After about 3 weeks of clouds creeping in every afternoon only to tease us and then evaporate, they delivered a fabulous thunder storm.

We forced the kids out to to porch to watch the rain, umbrellas in hand.

After about 10 minutes, the clouds started to part and the sun began to peak through a few spots. We knew that it was the perfect condition for rainbows, so we tossed the kids in the van and started to hunt. I was really hoping for a double rainbow , but we only found a single one.

And guess who the first one to spot it was....

She kept shouting from her car seat, "I tee wainbow!" Sure enough, she was right.


We pulled the car over into a parking lot and started to shoot some pictures.


What? Is there something wrong with my child? Yes, he is only wearing his boxers. Yes, he is wearing my shoes. We didn't have time for minor details like clothing.

Thomas is becoming quite the photographer. I gave him an old camera and he loves it. He actually can work it pretty well.



Love. This. Picture.



No mom, Steve was not driving here. We were pulled over.


So intense!

I have to agree with Robyn here - and I will repeat myself - WHEN are you going to make a book?

I have to say Clara is my kind of gal. Her fashion sense and comfort are on par with my own beliefs [Too bad we all can just hang around in diapers anymore. Right? And no I not a nudist - just hate doing laundry and love the simplicity of it all :) ]

Great shots. Again you need to be published Amy. Just amazing. :)
