'Tis the Season...

...For thunderstorms!  We have been enjoying a week and a half of daily thunderstorms.  The cooler weather that comes with the rain is a welcome relief from the hot weather we had in June, and Alex and I have been enjoying a nightly ritual of standing out on our balcony watching the lightning.  Michael has been enjoying the storms as well.  He is fascinated watching the rain fall, and he doesn't mind the thunder whatsoever.  Mama and Daddy are very proud of their boy!  He doesn't even startle at thunderclaps loud enough to set off car alarms.  This laid-back attitude toward flashes and loud noises came in very handy on the 4th of July as well.

Here are some pictures of the little storm-lover sitting and watching the rain fall:
