The rain is a problem. Our roof started leaking, there is flooding all over the state, and my sister's house is in the Snoqualmie River (which is the river I proposed to Christina at).

Yes it is wet. And a bit cold. But mostly it has hindered Chloe's social life. See, in the summer- all she had to do was say "ssside", and we would open up the door to let her outside, so she could run over to the neighbors- Christian (6 1/2) and Tatum (5). She doesn't understand a need to bundle up, wear socks and shoes, and put on a hat or hood for a 20 foot trip. Besides that, she like the rain. She laughs, and giggles (which is a little laugh) and gafaws (which is a bigger laugh). And when mom and dad don't feel like bundeling, then Chloe is left inside- dry, unbundled, and bummed.

Christian and Tatum are great- and they love Chloe. They keep each other busy, and always seem to find new adventures. It is a lot of fun seeing Chloe so happy and loving the neighbors so naturally. we are proud of the little one carrying out Jesus' instructions to "love her neighbor as herself". Way to go Chloe!
