Story of the Three Little Bears

Once upon a time, there was a young couple named Earl and Erica. One night in high school they went on a date. They decided to make a bear at Build-a-Bear. Erica loved panda bears (remember, they were young) so she chose to make a panda bear and name it after Earl. When they got to the end, the only outfit that matched Erica's panda bear was a tuxedo, so she chose that for her bear to wear.

Many years later, the two were married. On the evening of their wedding, Earl gave Erica another bear, but this time it was dressed in a wedding gown and named after her. After six years had passed, Erica thought this was such a sweet thing that Earl had actually remembered this bear.

When the couple started their family, Erica wanted a memorable and special way to tell Earl he was going to be a daddy. So she went to Build-a-Bear and made a baby bear. And they were a happy family of bears (and people).

....until there were four bears....





The fourth member of our family will be making his/her entrance into the world this coming summer. Praising God for the miracle of life and His continued blessings on our family!
