Last year, Chuck Bear wasn’t quite old enough to understand that those colorful eggs in the yard are worth looking for. This year things are different. And, he has a special Bunny to help him get in the holiday mood.
Plus, lots of time with Uncles Austin and Levi and Nanna and Grandpa.
An egg-cellent day for everyone.
How about sleeping on our sofa bed, waking up early every morning to the sound of a shrieking toddler, then making us all breakfast?
There aren’t many people who would have the courage to take such an offer. But Laurel did. Brave, brave woman.
With Grandma Laurel around, there have been many more smiles than there would have been as we’ve welcomed little Edward to the world.
Edward is home from the hospital and sleeping like a baby. And by that I mean he wakes every two hours demanding food. One of the biggest question marks was how Chuck Bear would respond to his new brother.
An answer to that question came at dinner. Chuck Bear has a habit of praying before dinner. His prayers amount to him listing all the things he is thankful for. It starts with “Thank you, God, for our food” then meanders through his other favorites: “Thank you, God, for trucks. Thank you, God, for trains. Thank you, God, for Lewis. Thank you, God for excavators.” All the things a little boy loves.
At dinner, Chuck Bear added something new to the list. He said, “Thank you God for the bubba.”
I think they’ll get along just fine.
