CHANEL 
Writing that my Avery is obsessed with dogs is an understatement. I can't even put into words how much this child loves dogs. Half the time she is pretending to be one, and she even speaks her own dog language. The other day I told her to get in her car seat. She yelled, "Mom that is just so boring. I was born to play and have a dog!" 
I believe her.
I told myself I would NEVER have a dog. I grew up with the world's worst dog, sorry, no offense to my mom and brothers who loved that crazy thing, but ask anyone else who knew York, the terror of our neighborhood, and they will just shake their heads.
But when our friend, Rachel was giving up her little puppy, Chanel, who we had dog sat before, and my kids were in love with, Robert and I decided it was time. We needed to give our girl a dog.
And so Rachel brought over Chanel and we surprised Avery, telling her this was her gift for her fifth birthday which is coming soon.
Chanel has been in our home for just a short while, but like my dog lovin' friends told me, we're feeling she's a part of our family already, and I am enjoying that little puppy more than I thought possible. 
Believe me, that's a small miracle, because the first day when she decided my room was her favorite spot for accidents, I really didn't know if I could do it.
Maybe it's knowing Avery finally has her dog, or that Pay and Owen too are having so much fun with her.....

Whatever it is......I think it's safe to say, "We're loving our new addition!"
