i decided to make avery some jewelry so we went to hobby lobby and bought some beads and string after we almost bought her a necklace this weekend for $6 that was maybe worth about .50 cents. the best part of the trip was when we were heading to check out. if you didn't know, avery LOVES dogs. well, there was an entire display of stuffed puppy dogs. i stopped the cart in front of them and just waited. her eyes got so big and her whole face lit up and she saw them and she just started pointing and "ruffing". i, of course picked one out and handed it to her and she hugged it, kissed it, and repeated about 100 times. we of course came home with the puppy dog and she slept with it last night. it was the cutest thing i have ever witnessed. naturally, we made the puppy a collar that matches her necklace. :)

just your modern day hero "helping" her mom fold clothes ;)
