Ode to Moose

Back in August we took at trip to Seattle to help out Mom after her hip surgery. While there, Pastor Barbara (who married Mike and I) stopped by to check on Mom and to bring Anders a gift, a plush moose. Anders already had plenty of stuffed animals but for some reason Moose was special. He immediately took to Moose and has never looked back.

We've heard stories from other parents of what happened when their son/daughter couldn't find their favorite animal. Since it appeared that Anders has selected Moose as the "special" one, I decided that we had better find a second one, just in case. It took me some searching to find an exact match, but I did manage to find one from a seller on eBay. It never hurts to have a backup!

And now, a really bad original haiku about moose:

soft, brown and furry
your antlers make good handles
comfort while i sleep

Poetry is not our strong suit. ;)
