Back Again

After going three separate ways for the weekend, the inhabitants of the Bear's den have all gathered back again. When we picked up Alec and Mia in Baltimore on our way home from PA, Alec was having a little stress with missing his mommy. I assured him that a lot of people are praying for him and Mia because we all know this separation is hard for them. His question was, "How many people? Do you think 55?" I told him I think it is actually more than 55! He reads the posts, so if you want to let him know you are praying for them, we will make sure he sees it. Mia happily chattered most of the way home. When Phil told her, "Mia, you are doing sooo good", her quick reply was, "Well, praise the Lord!"
Alec & Mia had to go back to the doctor for a recheck on the throats yesterday morning. Afterward we did some shopping then met Phyllis Bear (Jerald's had come down for the weekend after Jake's wedding) and Karen Mast at Panera for lunch. Alec chose a dog vest from Dollar Tree for his "after doctor" gift and Mia chose play dough. They got a lot of miles out of the play dough last night and probably will this afternoon, too.
