We had a gorgeous rainbow tonight. I called from work to tell my boys to look out the window, and Nathan said Gabriel was so excited and happy to see it. He gave a little gasp of surprise and said "Ooohh! A rainbow!" Very sweet. I wonder if we all secretely think these words when we see rainbows -- the little kid in all of us marveling at the sky. For me, it was a nice reminder of the "finer" things in life. And I had a nice little moment while looking out the window -- remembering a specific time in my childhood when a friend and I went looking for the end of a rainbow, to find the promised pot of gold. We never did find it of course, but it must've been a fun adventure anyhow, for me to have remembered it so many years later. It just goes to show that the journey is often just as important as the destination!

you know i walked by the window last night and thought to myself....."it looks like rainbow weather!" i was too lazy to go outside and look though, so i totally missed it. serves me right, i guess!
We saw the rainbow, too. I tried showing Ella, but I don't think she quite got it! As I was looking at it, I scanned the scene to see if I could find the end of the rainbow -- was it worth searching for that pot of gold?!?
