Rain delayed

For the first time this week, it is not raining. And, more importantly, for the first time this week, a thunderstorm is not waking Annalivia up at an insane hour. Daniel and I are awake, but it is 7:30 and she's still snuggled into our bed.

It is a gorgeous day here. The sun is shining, the birds are singing and the air is blessedly cool. All of the windows are open and the fans are on, giving us a lovely little breeze in here.

Daniel is on the floor on his belly. He just got to his hands and knees and rocked a few times. I think that's the first time he's done that. This child is going to be crawling far too soon. Annalivia crawled right before her first birthday, as I recall. He's got things to do, apparently, and is not going to be satisfied with that schedule.
