We've gotten a lot of unexpected news that a lot of people we know are expecting! In this past week alone, we learned that three more couples are expecting babies!

My husband and I have worked on a couple of puzzles since Christmas (and a few well before then), which gave me the idea to backtrack a bit in order to start a series like this! Hopefully we keep doing puzzles regularly enough that I can give my thoughts on them as we go. Yosemite …
