I joined them on the swing after writing my previous blog, and after a few minutes, Thom asked "What's that noise?". I hadn't really noticed, but there was a sound in the distance that was gradually getting louder. I said "Traffic?" since it sounded like traffic, but it wasn't 7am yet on a Sunday and it went from quiet to sounding like a lot of traffic pretty quick.
And then a large drop of water landed on the other side of the patio and we realized the noise was rain. Heavy, big droplet, tropical rain. I'd never heard it approach like that before. In another minute, the rain became heavier and heavier until it was a heavy downpour. Apparently it is remnants of Hurricane Dean.
After a few minutes, I went to grab the camera to document Aaron's first thunderstorm. I think this is also the first time it has rained since the day we brought Aaron home from the hospital.
