In one of my earlier posts, I told you that I was a stickler for grammar and punctuation. Unfortunately, I think that invited some greater scrutiny of my posts and hopes for a "gotcha" moment for a misplaced comma or some other error. Keep searching, friends. There are mistakes aplenty.
Well, along those lines, some of our fine readers have wondered how Hudson pronounces "Gaca" - his name for Grace Ann. It's pronounced "gay-kah." It rhymes with "take-a" hike, "make-a" wish, "fake-a" limp, "break-a" nose, "rake-a" leaf, "wake-a" baby, "shake-a" tambourine...or "bake-a" "cake-a" (double points!!).
Today, after I got home from work, Hudson was walking around with Lizzy's hand mirror. He looked at himself in the mirror and said, "I see...{pause}...me!" A complete sentence - subject, verb, object! If that doesn't make your day better, I don't know what does.
On a completely unrelated note.....
In keeping with my promise to post pictures without humans, here are two pictures from our yard. This first is our patch of black-eyed Susans, and the second is one of our teeny watermelons growing on the vine. That watermelon is about the size of a baseball. Sadly, I don't think that any of the watermelons will ripen before we move, but our buyers will have a nice little garden.

Chris... Not to worry about the watermelon, we grow much bigger ones in Memphis. I can hardly wait to hear Hud talk in person. Maybe I can teach him to talk as much and as fast as his mother!!!! Love, Lulu
