Last week a good friend of our family died; he was my sister-in-law’s step-father, Bob; which may not sound like much – but believe me, you had to meet Bob to understand. He was the kind of man whom you spent 5 minutes with and felt like family. He was a “larger than life” kind of person, someone I will truly miss. His passing kept Paul (my brother), and his family: Jill, Raymond and Simeon, in town a while longer. Then, to our surprise, my dad came to town for a few days also. All this to say, we all decided that it was a great time for a visit to Build-A-Bear!
This was Jackson’s first time, and I discovered how difficult it can be to help a 10 month old pick out a bear!! : – ) While he will have no memory of it – it was a sweet time. His cousin Raymond was the one to pick out a heart for Jackson’s bear and make a wish for Jackson. While Jackson’s parents named him Jefferson. (The alternate was Adams! Go figure?!)
