How's the weather?

You should probably know, this month, weather wise, has been pretty miserable.  Especially the last few weeks.  Now you may or may not have heard it by now but lots of people think Seattle is a rainy wasteland.  A marsh of forever gray skies and precipitation, but it isn't true.  Sure it rains a lot.  But usually from mid May until October it is quite pleasant up here.  The sun shines, it is green, the flowers bloom, etc...  Not this year.  No sir.  We had a mild winter and thus far spring/summer has been cool and wet.  Which doesn't work out so well for your dad who is riding his new motorcycle to work everyday so mom can have a car here in case of emergencies or if she needs to run errands.  The point of this post, I guess, is just so you know that the season in which you were born was not typical.  It may come up in conversation for your mom and I at some point

"I remember the year Brooklynn was born.  Boy was that a cool summer, eh?"

"Why yes, yes it was.  A lot cooler than this summer..."

Blah blah blah you get the point.

All that said, you may just want to take your Grampa Perkin's (P-Pa's) advice and just be born in June.  Not because June is the girl month (which it is) or because P-Pa and I don't want to share the month of May (we wouldn't mind at all), but more so you can say, "When I was born the sun came out and summer began and everything was right with the world!"  You had just better work out for the weather to be nice if you plan that.

I'm just saying...
