before the snow this morning came the rain. i have always loved the rain. i love the way it sounds, the way it smells, the way it feels. this morning i found myself lying awake in the darkness of the morning while everyone was still sleeping. the sound of thunder reminded me of growing up in the south. i miss the thunderstorms. normally, i hate it when i wake up in the night and can't go back to sleep. this morning was different.
when brady and i were deciding on a name for our sweet little brooklyn...we decided that whether she was with us a moment or longer, we wanted her in everyday life. we named her brooklyn rayne, after the rain. i knew she would never be far from our heart or thoughts, but i wanted people to think of her evertime that it rained. so this morning, instead of tossing and turning and trying so hard to fall back asleep. i laid there still, thanking God for such a gift. as my heart swelled and the rain fell i knew the ground outside was soaking up the rain and getting wet, so was my pillow.

I love the rain; the sounds and smells and feel of it all. It is a great analogy for Brooke too; her sound, her smell, the feeling you get when you around her... verry sweet.
