our third child

This old stuffed bear - I got him eons ago for Christmas! - has become a favorite new toy for Thomas.  The kids have been enjoying dressing up their stuffed animals in their own (people) clothes.  Today, this bear whom Thomas has renamed "Beary" was our third child.  He rode around with us in the car and this evening snuggled up in Thomas' bottom bunk while Thomas snuggled up in the top.
