When we left Minnesota, there were two bears. When we arrived in Florida, there were three. Dorothy's best kept secret had arrived along the way and we were happy to welcome the new arrival. She has not told us the name of the little one, so for now, we just call it Baby.

Aquarius | 21st January - 18th February

With Neptune’s ongoing influence in your chart this year, one side of you is resisting love and romance, while the other wants to dive right in and cover your loved one in lard. Dealing with feelings doesn’t come easily to you though. While many people are able to express their emotions openly and comfortably, you tend to respond to intimacy by spinning round in circles and shouting “weeeeeeeeee……..”. A program of cognitive behavioral therapy may be a good start to the year.

When Uranus enters in to your sign around Easter, a sense of balance and harmony will be restored to your being, an especially welcome occurrence, since each of your legs have been trying to walk in different directions since the start of the year, making it impossible to get the right bus home.

The Butterfly park is a place filled with fun for kids of all ages. It is nice and clean and I love it there. I went a couple of times, once for be birthday at the end of January. I am officially a year old now and life is good.

Here I am in one of the apt provided coin operated machines. They are rather roomy and mom does laundry about twice a week.

We took E to karate class and I discovered to my own delight that the class was in a gym, so I took a short walk on the stair machine before they figured out I really did not have a membership of my own yet. I might get one later, though.

We were all born on the same day. Spring belongs to H, Buddy belongs to E, and I belong to C, my mom. I never thought I'd see those two again, even less so living with them.
I guess that proves how interesting life truly is. Who knows what the future will bring, but I hope for a long and lovely life exploring what the future holds for us. Truly this must be only the beginning of all the wonderful things this chapter of our life holds for us.

Mom and I have been very busy getting used to a life with kids. We get them ready for school every morning and pick them up in the afternoons. We help with homework and give baths. It is amazing how quickly the weeks fly by when you are taking care of another.

The third flight was perfect. We were so relieved that we did not have to run to any more gates, that it made the last leg of the trip best of all. We ate a snack box and had a third coke, more than I've ever had before, but then again it was a special occasion. It is not often that a mom and her bear cross the country by themselves.

We arrived and Mom put on her hat before meeting her family once again. We both got a lot of hugs. H and E both wanted to hold my hand as we left the airport and so I walked between both of them. Mom got her luggage and we stopped off at a Perkins to eat on the way home. Mom had the meatloaf. I was so tired, I fell asleep in the back of the car, deciding not even to go in. Its okay though, I had some peanut butter later on, after mom was asleep.

There, I discovered I was actually one of triplets, three bears all born on January 31st. H has a bear named Spring who is covered in flowers. E had a bear-dog named Buddy. I am now part of a full family, filled with Grandparents, an uncle, two cousins, and many new bear friends. There is also a cat named Holly. she was mom's since the day she was born and went to live with Uncle J while she tried her vocation. Now the cat has her mom back again and our family is whole. New friends and old, so I'm told the song goes. One is silver and the other gold. Right now, I've never felt richer and I look forward to taking some photos here and sharing this new chapter of my life with all of you.

Mom and I had to run to our next plane and bearly made it. They were just finishing boarding when we arrived to the gate. Mom says five minutes more and we might have missed the plane. We boarded, and caught our breath, then got more cookies and more coke. I drank only enough to wash the excellent cookie down and once again, we looked out the window as often as the clouds would allow us, looking at the lovely quilt below us.

They were also boarding when we arrived at the third gate, though they were running late, so Mom was able to take this quick picture of out flight screen before we were off again. The first plane was little, the second was medium, but this one was huge and we were all the way in the back. We got mini pretzels and coke, but then mom bought us a snack box, because we were both as hungry as bears by this point for it was lunchtime and cookies, as lovely as they are, they are not a very good breakfast. Crackers with bits of salami and cheese, that definitely did help.

It is the most curious sensation, flying. It is a thrilling ride and I tried not to think about how high I was. mom got a window seat though, and I could not help but look outside. All the houses and lawns ans lakes, it looked like a crazy quilt that someone pieced together with all the green, blue and gray patches. Mom and a shared a seat and a seat belt. We were given a packet of cookies and a coke, both of which we shared. Wow, if I was sleepy before, that drink sure chased that off. Soda is certainly strong stuff. I cannot wait to see the people who brought me to life again. It will be such a sweet reunion.
