It Rained!

Yesterday morning when I looked out the bedroom window I noticed that there were clouds in the sky.

Then about half hour later it rained! Corban, Jeriah and I went out and stood in it. :)

This is actually the second time it has rained since we have arrived here. This first time was when we were still at the hotel, but it didn't rain as much and we didn't actually get to see it, we just heard from others that it had rained. Yesterday mornings rain lasted less then 5 minutes. The rain drops were big and warm, and it even made that pitter-patter sound on the side of the pool. That brought a smile to my face. :) I haven't seen rain or heard that familiar pitter-patter sound in over 3 1/2 months! I know that back home at the coast they are experiencing a LOT of rain right now. I miss it though...
My Facebook status this morning was a comment about the rain, Jay was surprised to hear that we got rain here. According to the Weather Network Jeddah gets 54 mm of precipitation on average per year, Vancouver gets 1117 mm. So yes we do get rain here, just a LOT less.

While I am here posting I have a few other things to share, mainly pictures...
Over the weekend the 5 of us went to check out the newly opened public library, we read a few books, and checked out a couple movies and a few books for the kids. Then we went for a walk along the sea wall in front of KAUST. In the afternoon, while the boys were napping, and I was enjoying the silence, Ian and Marin went to the Harbor rec center and went bowling.
On Friday (our Sunday) there was a "Family Fun night" and Marin and Corban enjoyed the bouncy castles. Jeriah spent the whole time asleep strapped to me in the carrier.

Yesterday Jeriah also wore shorts for the first time, figures the day it rains. Ha ha!

Seeing his little knees in them was pretty cute. :)
