(Notice she&#8217;s the only girl!?) I was a little nervous about the height and told her to call me over when she was ready to come back down. I am glad I did &#8211; as she was climbing down she lost her grip on the rock and fell.

At one point, the rain was coming down at an angle and almost looked like a blizzard. I&#8217;ve never seen so much water on our road. It even covered the sidewalks and came up into our yard and that of our neighbors. A water fall was created when water from the road started pouring into the green belt. The water in the green belt itself must&#8217;ve been 4-5 feet deep! Our neighbors next door and across the street both ended up with some flooding in their basements. Somehow, we were lucky and ours stayed dry.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Rainstorm\" src=\"\/blog_images\/2011\/07082011_008.jpg\" alt=\"Rainstorm\" width=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After the storm was a beautiful rainbow.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Rainstorm\" src=\"\/blog_images\/2011\/07082011_013.jpg\" alt=\"Rainstorm\" width=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Audrey&#8217;s 5th Birthday Party &#8211; July 9th<\/strong><br \/>\nAdrianna met Audrey at a Pneuma park date in June and the girls totally hit it off so we were invited to her 5th birthday party. The girls had a lot of fun and were excited to find out that they would be attending the same homeschool Options school on the same day this year. They are in different grades but will have one class (P.E.) together.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Audrey's Party\" src=\"\/blog_images\/2011\/07092011_007.jpg\" alt=\"Audrey's Party\" width=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Poetry and Pie Literary Tea &#8211; July 12th<br \/>\n<\/strong>We just returned from a &#8220;Poetry and Pie Literary Tea&#8221;. It was so fun watching all the little girls (and a couple boys), mostly ages 5-8, recite poems and play together. I love our homeschool group.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>July 19th<\/strong><br \/>\nEven though Bree is probably getting too old for a bottle and being rocked before bedtime, she is my baby and I am not ready to give the routine up. Especially because I love these rare occasions where she actually falls asleep in my arms while I am rocking her.
