Notice anything different about the 2 pictures above?  If you’re looking at the cradle, then nothing is different.  This is the exact cradle that Jen’s uncle Jack Bechdel made for her 31 years ago.  The picture on the left is Jennifer sleeping in it back in 1976, the one on the right is Piper sleeping in it last night.  On a side note, you’ll notice Jen is sleeping on her stomach and Piper on her back.  Unfortunately we’re not allowed to let them sleep face down any more, but they do sleep so well that way. The cradle is the perfect addition to our bedroom for her (Piper, not Jen anymore) to sleep in.  Not to mention it’s in such great shape that there’s no reason it won’t last another generation.  Thank you Uncle Jack!

Today, we spent the afternoon hanging out with Grandma at her apartment.  Getting out of the house was a nice change of scenery.  Piper seems to like this idea of going to “Grandmother’s house” so we’re wondering what’s going to happen when she gets a bit older.  As they say, what happens at grandma’s stays at grandma’s.
