Graham's new language

Graham started to talk in some funny language about a week ago. Bobby is accusing me of trying to teach him German. Ha ha!


It's funny how he makes those guttural noises! And since watching a lot of the Disney channel lately, Graham has learned the crocodile motion from one of the music videos. Too cute!

We're also trying to teach Graham some Chinese as well. "Xia yu" actually means "it's raining". He started saying that in the car last Saturday when it was pouring down rain and it was actually hailing! We had to park under the roof at a bank's ATM machine while the storm rolled through!

We haven't done too much lately. We have been fixing up the yard for the most part - pulling out dead plants (from this past summer), planting new ones - more rose bushes by the back deck, and Mommy finally got her rain barrel! We are doing some work to the side of the house today. A couple of the siding is rotting out and hopefully the damage does not go any further than that! Anyhow, we are putting in a small new gutter and downspout. It's too bad that winter is coming. I'll just have to wait till next Spring to watch my rain barrel in action!
It was a little tricky to try and level out the ground. Hopefully I did a good job and when the barrel is full, hopefully it won't tip over! But look at that, it's like the barrel was meant to fit in that little corner all this time! Yes, Daddy... it was meant to be :-)
