Rainbow Weather

You can probably tell that the antibiotics are starting to kick in. You wouldn’t know from my stuffy nose and cough – but my energy level is coming back a little, and that means more pictures and writing about my favorite baby boy. Sadly, it’s Rob’s turn now. He thinks it’s just a cold, but he went home early today to rest, and that’s not his natural tendency. I owe him some serious pampering, and I promise to do my best.

Rob came home from the dog walk today and announced that there were rainbows outside. Brendan and I ran to the front door and as we stepped outside with our bare feet, I was shocked to discover it was raining. This shouldn’t have been a surprise – I know the saying, ‘no rain no rainbows‘ – but nobody ever depicts rainbows with rain. They are always drawn with white puffy clouds and sunshine. Today was a beautiful mixture of both – the sun and the rain taking turns being in charge, but mostly sharing the sky. Driving to work this perfect metaphor smacked me upside the head. My life has not been all sunshine. There was a pretty rainy patch. I’m thrilled that it doesn’t sit with me on a daily basis and define me like it used to. But looking back, if it weren’t for the cancer, and all the turmoil that followed – we might not have found our way to Brendan. I’ve been blessed with both the sunny days and the rainy days – and now my life is truly filled with rainbows. Complete with white puffy clouds and unicorns and butterflies. And marshmallows and rainbow sprinkles with a cherry on top.

Meredith’s birthday is coming up. And a month later, Brendan’s first birthday. For her, last year couldn’t have been filled with sunshiney rainbows. I will never ever take for granted the fact that her rainy patch brought us to the place we are now. I think she understands how she has made our dreams come true, but I can’t wait for the day where she looks back and realizes that the path of her life had to take some unexpected twists and turns to get her to the place where she is most meant to be. And I know that place is full of rainbows. And probably lots of puppies. With rainbow collars.

Completely non-metaphorically speaking, I love the rain. So this morning Brendan and I marched right out in our bare feet to stand in the rain and look up at the rainbows. I don’t know if he actually saw the one this morning, but he will see plenty of them. I’ll make sure of it.

And speaking of bare feet… I have always loved these two little feet, but now that they are helping to support him, they seem to have gotten even cuter. I can’t get enough of the toes scrunching and gripping as he tries out his new moves and works on his balance. There has never been anything in the universe cuter than these two feet.

    Meredith’s mom and the Captain’s Iowa grandma say thank you. And Scotti will be a year old tomorrow! He celebrated early by snatching and consuming a loaf of bread yesterday.
