meet the bear family

I wrote an update on our family here.

I'm MamaBear to three cubs and wife to my best friend of 12 years.  PapaBear and I have been married for a decade now, but you can read about where it all started - in a different park  - by following this link.  When you visit BearCountry you might find a new recipe, photos of the cubs, or a story I want to record for our family's blog book. I love to share what I'm learning about straw bale gardening, photography, and living in a campground.  Life is busy - but at the end of the day when I tuck my cubs into their beds it is my prayer that they know they are loved by MamaBear, PapaBear, and most importantly their Heavenly Father!

PapaBear
When PapaBear isn't busy working in the woods he's playing 'zoo', 'school', or 'dinosaur' with his cubs. They LOVE to make believe together & learn about all the amazing things God has created at the same time.  I couldn't ask for a better husband!




 BrotherBear
Our first born, or only son, Sam.  At almost 7 he is full of energy and love for everyone. His passions continue to be Star Wars, dinosaurs, sea life, bugs, & soccer. He learned to tie his shoes recently and loves to snuggle with his baby sister at bedtime.  Now that he can count money he is saving to buy his very own imperial walker.  He is looking forward to his first trip to the Boundary Waters next summer!!




SisterBear
Our 2nd born, our first daughter, Julia.  At almost 5 she is doing her very best at keeping up with her brother.  She is mommy's helper in the kitchen, around the house, and in the garden. She is outgoing and friendly, but doesn't like to draw attention to herself.  She's passionate about drawing, painting, digging worms, and problem solving.  She's not afraid to get dirty or share her last bite of cookie.




BabyBear


Our second daughter, Elsa, was born July 1st during a terrible storm (thank goodness for generators!). When she isn't sleeping or eating (which she does A LOT) our little sweet pea is happiest when her big brother and big sister are making her smile. She's already been camping once since she was born and we're headed north soon for her first full weekend outdoors.













Disclosure: That hats my cubs are wearing were given to me by the uber talented Lindsey of Blue Yodey Boutique.

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean...

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d...
