We're still newbies

So, you know that you've been away from Colorado too long, and don't quite fit in the desert yet with the scenario we experienced last night.

It rained. I mean more than you see rain clouds and think you might possibly have felt a drop or two before the rain cloud dried up and vanished before your eyes (often it will rain, but the moisture never makes it to the earth - it's too hot and dry).

No, this time it actually rained - the concrete patio in the back yard got wet with rain drops - we could feel it.

So, what did we newbies do? We called the children out (they must have thought there was some exotic wildlife or something else amazing to see, and they came running), and we all sat in our patio chairs in the rain. It was God's little spray park and we were game. It only lasted for about five minutes, but the novelty of it was glorious.

I'm almost embarrassed to admit it. But, in the spirit of complete honesty...

  2. Hi there! Memories, we are definitely making. :) We've decided to go with the public school, for now. I've registered Bri, so we'll see how it goes. I'm reserving all rights to change my mind. Private school is too cost prohibitive, and home schooling might be an awesome option, under different circumstances, but we still know no one here, and I fear it may be a disservice to Bri, not getting to meet more kids at the outset. So, that's what we're going with.. Are you gearing up for the new school year?
