It’s become our family tradition to take a fun trip over Memorial Day weekend. Last year we went to Portugal and this year we headed up north to Madrid and Toledo, Spain. Good friends of ours, Joey and Rena, just moved to Madrid so we decided to go see their new place and tour around… Continue reading Memorial Day Weekend in Madrid And Toledo
You Were There Anonymous You were there when we took our first steps, And went unsteadily across the floor. You pushed and prodded: encouraged and guided, Until our steps took us out the door… You worry now “Are they ok?” Is there more you could have done?

Papa Bear’s softball tournament was a… Continue reading Three Little Bears Welcome the Warm Season

Dear Baby Bear, Here are a few things I want to remember about you at 3 months old. You love to nap to Ray LaMontagne, and sometimes sleep in a pose that resembles praying. I like to think you are. You smile all the time now and are giggling more often than your 2nd month.… Continue reading Baby Bear is 3 Months Old!
Watching – W, despite your political stance, you cannot dispute the fact that Josh Brolin did an amazing job portraying our last CINC.

The little Bear family headed into Sevilla for a beautiful Valentine’s day. What was to be one night away from home turned into two sweet nights when their car overheated just yards from the underground parking garage.
