A tale of two bears

As many of you know and have witnessed Max loves his bear that he got from the hospital when he was born. In fact he is actually sitting on my lap as I type this holding his bear and patting it on its back. Anyway, recently we made a quick and crazy trip to Colorado to visit friends, and check on our poperty there...talk to a realtor, etc. While on our trip our wonderful friends the Nyes were willing to donate the bear their son got from Saint Mary's to Max as a back up, since their little boy doesn't care about his. We are very grateful to them for the backup bear, as well as for just being awesome friends.
I just thought I would take some pictures of the two bears, they once looked exactly the same, you can definitely tell which bear has been through a lot with Max!



Max loves having two bears, but he tells me he has four....we are still working on the whole counting thing. However, for some reason if he has a choice between which bear he wants to take or sleep with he chooses the old nasty one-maybe we will have to go rub the new one in the dirt and drop it in a few puddles!
