Sorry, we were too busy to post the last couple of days. We've been busy helping with all sorts of different Christmas things.

We hope you had a good Christmas. We did. Mom made me a sweater, Eva and Chloe new dresses, and bought presents for Robinson and Charlotte. Mom got a brand new digital camera. She's taken lots of pictures of us.

Hope you all had a merry Christmas and have a great New Year!

Mom was home the whole day today. We've spent the last hour or so playing computer games. I'm helping her here. I love playing computer games, but sometimes I have trouble using the mouse! I don't have a thumb to hold it well. But Mom helps me most of the time.

Things have been very busy around here. We've been preparing for Christmas. I helped Mom decorate the Christmas trees, and Chloe and Charlotte have been helping Mom make cookies! It's all been very fun. This is Eva's first Christmas with a family, and she's been carefully watching. I'm sure that she's going to have lots of fun.

I found a new website to share with you. It's a website by some people who make bears for a living. They're awfully nice looking bears! It's called Bears by Beesley.

Eva is settling in her new home with us today. Mom made her some new clothes that fit her better. She is enjoying our company. She says that she likes all the attention and hopes to stay here forever. I told her that she didn't have anything to worry about.

She says that before she came to GoodWill, she had a home with a little girl who outgrew her. The little girl's mom is who gave her away to GoodWill. She is glad that Mom found her. We're glad too.

We have a new friend today. Mom rescued her from GoodWill. Her name is Evangeline. Mom rescued my teddy, Caleb, from GoodWill too. She bought her for company for Polly. Polly got a new dress. I don't really understand girls' fascination with dresses, but I admit this is a real pretty one. She's got a cap and a hat. When we go outside, now Polly can come with us if she wants!

Mom gave us some bad news today. She says that the place she works at is closing. It really doesn't mean much for us-- but she says that she needs all the hugs and moral support we can give her. She told us that Grandma will help her take care of us if she can't find another job right away. She's mostly sad because she's worked there for such a long time and she likes her co-workers. We all love our Mom and we don't want her to be hurting. We're going to give her lots of hugs and moral support. Cheer up, Mom!

Just a short post today. Mom is tired and she wants to go to bed. Mom got a new camera for Christmas (a bit early), so we'll post new pictures tomorrow!

Hello! Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I had a tummy ache. I ate too much chocolate. Mom made me stay in bed all day. I feel much better today though! I mostly napped! I don't mind spending time in bed. I read books all day. Chloe and Robinson kept me supplied in new books and orange juice. After my tummy ache went away, I was a content bear.

I have a website that I want to share with you. It's called Billy Bear's Playground. It is a bear friendly website with all sorts of educational stuff. It has information about animals, things to download and color, clipart to make pretty pictures on the computer with, and all sorts of different things. I don't like the ads on the pages, but Mom says that's how they pay for the website. I found it today while Mom was at work and I just had to share. It's even got some things for the grown-ups in your life! I've bookmarked it and I'll visit it again sometime. I have LOTS of bookmarked websites!
