Build a Bear Workshop

Today I took the kids to Huntsville and we met up with John. We all went to the Build-A-Bear Workshop, where the kids picked out a bear. John made a message for each child, for them to listen to while he is on his trip. It was really sweet!

.

Two hearts are in each bear, one for Daddy's heart, and one for the child. Luci was very happy to be there and do all the "heart magic." Here she is putting the hearts into her bear.





Two other children were with us besides Luci. They made me promise to not mention them on the blog. So I won't tell you that two male children, who happen to have the same last name as us and are ages 12 and 16, were there, too. The 12 year old had some fun but the 16 yo made me pick out his bear and put the hearts into his bear. If they see this, I don't have any idea where the photos came from!



Loving her Daddy Bear.

We got the idea from stories like this one.

Oh Susan, That is a sweet post. It kind of makes me sad though. When you said that Luci's bear had two hearts in it. One for her, and one for her daddy. I was thinking about that and about John having to leave. That has to be so hard on you and the kids. Tell Bryan and JT not to feel bad. They need to enjoy being a kid. Before they know it they will wish they were a kid again. Life is to precious and goes by way to fast.

Oh Susan...this post makes me cry. What a sweet idea and how wonderful that two boys who will remain nameless went along. A great family memory to cherish before Daddy leaves. Precious! And the picture of Luci and her bear...oh my....bless her sweet heart.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love you,
Monica
