Weather

So last week we were both praying for some rain in order to cool down the heat wave we were experiencing.  We should have been a little more specific.  God answered our prayers in triplicate.  For the last four days all we have had is rain!  And the temperature has dropped down to the low 60's-mid 50's DURING THE DAY!!!  

Although we are very grateful for the cooler temperature we also have a bit of concern.  For starters we are worried about what winter will be like this year.  You see, we are both from California and what we are experiencing right now is what we consider "winter".  Now if what we believe to be "winter" is only the beginning of autumn, then these two kids might have a bit of a struggle dealing with the real Winter.  Needless to say we are looking at our winter clothes and wondering if we packed enough.  

We are also adjusting to rain.  We mean rain, not the drizzle once every blue moon we experience in SoCal, but the kind that comes down in sheets for hours.  We now understand the purpose of rain boots.  Never quite appreciated them at home.  It's not all bad though. We are excited to see how the seasons change.  We didn't really have much of a change of seasons in Southern California.  For now, however, we hope for a change to a little warmer Fall weather.
