And she's no baby now. Officially she is considered a preschooler though she's not in preschool just yet. She's a firecracker, that one.
We had a fabulous day full of friends, family, food, drink, presents, cake, and great conversation.
Baby Bear A has her favorite gifts from the day - the ones her mommy, daddy, and big brother gave her: a lovely pink backpack of her own, a purple and pink cell phone (Baby Bear J picked it out for her) and of course, the stroller for her baby, which goes everywhere with her now - including our quick run to Sears yesterday. She is quite nuturing and loves her baby. I think the stroller was a great idea...maybe we are on the road to Stroller Freedom =)
Not much else going on. Here are pics from the day with a couple of random ones from January thrown it - I thought they were too cute not to share.
Love to all!

Once again, too long between posts
So much has been going on this year; it's been a bit crazy.
We've had a very reasonable Winter and Spring is peeking her head out. Momma, Poppa, and Baby Bears had a little adventure in the snow. It was our cubs' first visit and what fun they had. J wasn't too thrilled with freezin' his little paws off but that's what happens when the gloves come off. A had trouble keeping hers on as well. She knew better than to touch the pretty white stuff for too long.
Easter has come and gone but not without the requisite Egg Hunt. Our church has an empty lot that is perfect for Egg Hunts. With Grandma L, Auntie V and Uncle T, and Momma and Poppa Bear in tow, our Baby Bears searched high and low, in the grass, in the weeds, and in the pretty flowers for eggs. Lots and lots of eggs in fact. This was A's first egg hunt and she was a pro in minutes. J's priority was checkin' out the loot along the way. Of course, far too much candy is still in the house. I'll have to find a way to make it go away soon. I know, I know - just throw it away.
Poppa Bear is doing well at work and finding his niche. His travel has stopped for the time being, giving our family time together. My Fab Hubby has been working to clean up our yard and get it ready for some much needed updating. With the Winter rains comes the weed of the season. This year it's Fox Tails - glad we don't have a dog right now.
I've been traveling a little for work. My trips are no more than 3 days - that's just on the border of "Too Long" for the Bear family to be apart. I do miss Poppa Bear and our Cubs a ton while I'm away but try to get some rest while I'm gone. This last trip had me in Baltimore. It was a little wet and far too cold for this thin blooded SoCal chica (mid 50's). We were finished with our meetings earlier than planned so a co-worker and I toured DC for a bit. I haven't been to DC since I was...hmmm...10 - our 5th grade class trip. Our priority was to see the cherry blossoms. They were just a couple of days past their peak and more beautiful than I had expected.
Baby Bear J is doing fantastic in pre-school. He is learning Spanish, is writing his own name and recognizes many words. He's 4 now you know and thinks he's 40 - well, not quite, but you get the idea. He is also riding his bike without the training wheels. He ended 2007 on 2 wheels. "I'm 4 now. I don't want the little wheels anymore." Poppa Bear took them off and away Baby Bear J went. Have I mentioned what a fabulous Big Brother Bear he is? He's just awesome in that department. His sister adores him immensley.
Baby Bear A is a pistol. She's in the Terrible Twos now - Oh joy! And just as we were recovering from Baby Bear J's Terrifying Threes. At least this is the last time we have to walk this path. The great thing for us is we know what to expect and don't panic during a tantrum - we usually look at her and giggle. Baby Bear A is definitely a girl - loves all things pretty- her earrings, cute hair styles (thank you Grandma G - our daycare provider), and her pink bicycle. She's also quite the little Dare Devil and super bossy. Wonder where she gets that from - hmmmm.
OH! I almost forgot - We got Snow on Valentine's Day. I've been waiting 4 years for it and what a bummer - I was in lovely Huntsville, Alabama, and missed it all.
I do hope to stay current here. If too much time passes, feel free to drop me a note and Yell At Me ;-)

Has it really been this long???
Sorry I've been slackin' in the updates here but life sure is crazy with kids, hubby, work, and household.
I will try to update the weekend, complete with zanny pics of the kids. In the mean time, this is a test post from my shiny new phone - it's called a Crackberry for a reason! =)
