It's been hot here recently as it's been in the 90s and we are about 7 inches behind normal in rain fall this year. We really have only had 1 storm in Spring that gave us any significant rainfall. It has sprinkled here and there for maybe only several minutes. One time it got really dark sprinkled for a bit and then got sunny again. It made a nice big rainbow.

With this recent heat wave this week with low to high 90s (and soon maybe low 100s), the grass has really needed watering. Some of the neighbors who haven't been keeping up watering their lawns are really struggling right now. Some of the local weather man have already started to use the word "drought".
Other than that Indi's been smiling a lot now. She smiles a lot more than River did. I can get Indi to smile on command 100% of the time as long as she is awake. You mostly just have to smile at her and she'll smile back. She's also been crying a lot less and enjoying River being close to her. She's starting to be able to flip herself over when laying down now too.
River has been hanging outside more and always wants some one to play with him. He's been playing with the neighbor kids more and loves to score goals in his miniature soccer goal outside. We kicked the ball around a lot last night as we each had a full-size soccer ball and would dribble to the net and then do "big kick" to score. The toy goal says, "Goooooaaaal" when you score. So it's hilarious as when he watches a soccer game on TV and someone scores as he immediately raises both arms in the air and says, "Goooooaaaal"--mimicing his toy soccer net. It's something he just picked up and we never encouraged him to do and it's those things that make him super fun.
