I know this is a late post, however, I'm a big believer that this is news you can use! Every year that Bear has been in school, be it preschool or elementary, I've made his Valentine's packets. The first year with him being in preschool was rather simple - a candy and maybe a small card attached. I found out as time progressed, there are parents who do the

Our visit to the USS Iowa

Bear has taken an interest in ships. Partially because he and Maks play World of Warships every night. Maks brought home a bunch of books for Bear to comb through and he just fell in love reading about the history of old warships. So, we thought, 'Hey, wouldn't it be fun to take Bear to see one?' Maks got us tickets to visit the USS Iowa, and we drove down.
