Playground time
As the weather's gotten nicer, and Graham's become more mobile, we've gotten the chance to spend some time at local playgrounds.

Good with directions
Graham is getting pretty good at communicating what he wants. Take, for example, his recent request for some peanut butter crackers.
 |
| Okay, that's what I want. |
 |
| Did you catch that? |
 |
| That right there. |

| Glad we're on the same page. |

Fun with the Fuquas
Although I'm a few weeks late in posting this, I wanted to provide an update on our fun weekend with my sister and her family in early March. They typically come while my niece and nephew are on spring break, and we definitely enjoy having them. They arrived on Friday evening and stayed through Tuesday morning.
We created lots of new memories during the weekend, as we had good meals, went to fun places (Cornwallis Road Park, the Museum of Life and Science), and shared lots of laughs. Of particular note was the "Just Dance 2" competition we had, as it prompted more than a few chuckles (no videos will be posted to protect the innocent). Ryan was as entertaining as ever with his "Rasputin" routine, only to be topped by Brent as he spontaneously joined in the fun. We also had quite a bit of fun playing Boggle, from the interesting words that popped up to the creative spelling used. We also had a couple of memorable dinners by candlelight/flashlight in our dining room, thanks to our breakers being out during screened porch construction.
It was clear that Graham really enjoyed the weekend. He had fun playing all kinds of games with Ryan, and he was smitten with Rachel. His big cousins took extra special care of him throughout the trip, so much so that we didn't really have to worry about him when he was with them. Everyone--especially my sister--quickly adapted to his vocabulary, and became as attached to his word "Aboo" as we have.
Although, as always, the trip was far too short, it was wonderful to have everyone with us.
