Happy New Year, and a Surprise Announcement

2013 has arrived!

In 2012,

I withdrew from the Match, 

we celebrated five years with G-Bear,

and one year with Buddy Bear.

We said good-bye to friends and our home in Carolina,

 and began anew in Minnesota.

We attended new schools for the very first time,

said goodbye to the curls, tried a new haircut style.

 We hailed four years with dear E-Bear,

welcomed a baptism for Buddy Bear,

and shoveled the snow away with great flair.

After so many blessings, can this next year compare?

No time to look back, it is time to press on,

the Lord gives a new year, there is work to be done.

But surely our greatest excitement to share,

is the anticipation of another baby Bear!

In April, we'll add a new babe to our team, 

please join us in praying for 2013!

May 2013 be filled with God's grace and blessings in all of our lives!  Happy New Year.
