Down came the rain

It has been raining for a few days now, and everyone keeps saying we really need it.  I'm sure we do, but I personally need some sunshine!  On a positive note - the road construction outside our window is not happening today and the sweet sound of silence is worth every drop of rain.  We have been living with constant rumbling and beeping from the very large trucks and equipment from 7:00 am until 6:00 pm all day.  Here is the current view from our front window.  It may be a day or two until the machines can make it through that mess.

The rain has also forced a cancellation of Bailey's first t-ball game, which gives us a few more days to try to teach her how to actually play t-ball.  We haven't been winning any parenting awards in that area.  Poor girl has no idea.  She thinks it is all fun and games though, which I guess it should be anyway.  There won't be any first game pics for a bit so here are a couple practice shots.  What you won't see is a picture of the almost broken nose that just about happened when Bailey was running home from third base and another kid was getting ready to bat and taking warm up swings.  I'm not sure what Bailey was looking at but it wasn't the baseline.  Just about gave Grandma Lynn a heart attack.
