The Return of "Teddy"

Maddie has developed a sudden and complete love for the little (now quite mangy) stuffed bear (koala?) that I carried around as a young child. Mom has many stories of this bear and I, including the new nose and "hat" she had to sew on when the dog chewed him up. He is 32 years old, I believe, and his fragility limits his play time. Which is probably his appeal to the girls. He is basking in the new love that is being heaped on him despite his grunginess, which reminds me of the Velveteen Rabbit story.

  1. Your daughters are so beautiful! Thank you for spending New Year's eve and day with us. Plenty of drama, sorry for that, but we LOVED seeing you all! Let us know when you want this circus to travel to you :-)

    Love you all

    J and D
