The Latest

This is a bit of an update on our our New Years Resolution challenge. First off, we just finished our WEEK 1 challenge which was to read a novel together. Can you believe it?! I really think Nate enjoyed it and he was getting excited about the book. A good read. We recommend The Alliance.

 Our WEEK 2 challenge was to play a new game we have never played before. For Christmas we just so happened to get a few games but they required more than 2 players and we didn't have the best of luck finding some more individuals to play with us. (Well actually we didn't try too hard...whoops). So instead we decided to put a puzzle together. Easy right? Well actually we only had one puzzle in our cupboard and it was a 1500 piece. No biggie.
Nate looks pretty excited. We feel really good about ourselves when we put together 1 piece in about 5 hours. Yikes! This may take all year. 
 So far Emmett hasn't helped us with any of our 52 challenges, but there will be some in store for him.
 This happened to be his outfit one day because he pretty much spit up on everything. It was Sunday and I think he spit up on every inch of the church building and all the way home (and all over Nate and I). Poor guy. At least he is a "happy" spitter-upper!
 Our WEEK 3 challenge is to make sincere and random compliments all week. I've tried to compliment people I rarely talk to. (It really gets you out of your comfort zone but I am enjoying it so far). It feels good to put on a smile on someones face.
