MY bear

That's right. This used to be MY bear when I was a kid. I was a spoiled stuffed animal maniac. So, I always wanted this HUGE bear and one Christmas my dad forked over the huge amt of money (its a Gund!) and got it for me. I loved it! It seemed so much bigger back then. And it used to stand up much straighter as well. Now, it was propped up for the above picture. :P Anyway, I'm so glad it's stayed in the family and made its way back to ours now. Very sentimental. Well, obviously its sentimental if I'm going to dedicate a blog post to it! :)

Here's the bear in its new 'position'.

And so I won't feel so silly posting *just* about a bear. Here's our church directory pic we took a few weeks ago. Eh....it's ok. This was the typical...feather duster in your face kinda photographer. If only I was exagerating about the feather duster. Anyway, not the best, but a free family pic nonetheless. We're headed to Sears tomorrow to do some more pictures for Christmas and otherwise. I'll def be sure to post those when I get them. : )
