On Friday, Dave decided that he wanted to do a puzzle - I mean what better way is there to spend your free time when it is raining outside?  So I went to Target and got a couple puzzles (buy 2 get one free!) and Dave wanted to do this hilarious one first.

It took us all weekend but it was really relaxing and we definitely felt accomplished when we finished.  We were thinking about puzzle gluing it together and getting it framed for a white elephant gift next Christmas.  What do you think?

Saturday night we had a game night with our neighbors.  One of our new favorites that we got for Christmas is Telestrations .  It is definitely a fun game and if you haven't played you should check it out.  Below is my rendition of a monkey riding a flying unicorn.

On the baby front, Gretchen has started 2 new things.  First, she doesn't really have the patience to sit up right (or maybe she doesn't know how to get out of the sitting position) so she has started sitting like my late dog Spot...off to one side.  We call it her Spot Sit and she is doing it everywhere.

She also likes grabbing the spoon when we feed her.  She normally tries to grab the part with the food in it so we have to do the airplane to avoid big messes.  Since she was getting a bath Sunday night, we decided to just let her practice eating.  Aside from her flinging prunes across the dining room table, she was so cute to watch!

And just because, here is a picture of Gretchen playing in a shoe box.  Her legs are a perfect size 12.
