Congratulations Dan

Dan and Rosey just had their first child Sara Belle Christensen the other day. I say the other day because he mentioned Rosey going into surgery late Wednesday but didn't post the follow up until Thursday Morning :)

Shannon and I wanted to say congratulations to becoming new parents to both of them. Being one of our best friends we definitely wanted to send something to them in the hospital. My first thought of course was flowers. However after a half hour shopping I couldn't find a decent bouquet of flowers for under $60. Not that I mind spending that on them, but I just couldn't justify it for something that won't even last but a few days.

So with a bit of quick thinking we came up with the idea to get Sara a Vermont teddy bear. Both Jasmine and Kai have been given one as gifts and both love them. I generally am not attached to brand names and really don't feel like most brands warrant much extra attention, however Vermont stands out in one way for me. They guarantee their bears for life. So Sara I say to you, "love the heck out of that bear, and feel free to be as rough to it as your little heart desires".

The best part about a Vermont teddy bear is that whenever it has a problem either wear and tear or complete neglect you can simply send it to the bear hospital to be patched up and sent home fully recovered.
