"Outside!"

We're settling into our little "apartment" in Nana & Pa's house, but Eli's favorite part of his "new house" is definitely the backyard! Eli always wants to "go outside" (yes, he's moved beyond "owside") - and fortunately we've had enough breaks in the rain that he's been able to play in the yard at least for a little while most of the days we've been here. He's been hard at work ("wooking" to "help Dada" or "help Pa") much of the time, from building fences (with his own hammer and chain saw!) to mowing the lawn - which he adamantly wanted to "do by self!" He sure is a great helper, and having a great time exploring his wonderful new backyard! To top things off, today he got to see a real deer in his backyard, and he's been talking about it ever since!
