with bears little paws:

a turkey placemat above, turkey playdough, and turkey print card:
then last tues night before Thanksgiving the Bear (along with cousin Peyton, auntie rossy and taylor) and mama caught some sort of stomach flu bug!!! =/
bear woke up at about 10 with vomit everywhere and kept puking for awhile then mama started and puked the WHOLE day after! it was awful! but thank goodness for papa who has been taking care of us!
here's a pic of the emotional little, whiny, tired, recovering sick bear:
here's the naked bear for the last couple of days.... slumbering in the family room...

we finally headed out to the ER on Wed early evening...

and bear was ok despite having the flu, but mama was dehydrated from all the vomitting so she got an IV and we both got meds:

praise God that we are recovering and hopefully are almost better!

we missed out on the family get-to-togethers, but grandpa oscar did come by on thursday with some Thanksgiving food!

Happy Thanksgiving!

praise God for keeping us safe!

auntie, me, bear and peyton were at a stoplight (in aunties car) when all of a sudden out of nowhere a pick-up truck from the oppsite side of the street came flying right into us!!!

the pix below are the after pix and the cops already cleared out the other cars and blocked off the road behind us. the driver was supposedly not feeling well and had just come from the dentist after getting some work done.

our car had the most impact since we were right in front and so did the benz next to us then his truck pounded through a couple more cars!

the guilty truck:

thankfully we all walked away from this crazy accident- no major injuries!

thank you Lord for keeping us safe and for protecting us!
