On July 31rst Avery became a memember of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We are so proud of her decision. We believe it's the start of beautiful relationship between her and her Heavenly Father.
A special side note....
Avery and I searched around for the perfect dress for her baptism. If you know Avery, this was an impossible thing. I ended the search with, "when she gets married, I'm giving her cash and making her go pick out the dress by herself." I was not sure what we were going to do. Somewhere in the middle of all this Avery's grandma gave me a box full of old fabric she didn't want anymore. One day I was going through it and found about 8 yards of this beautiful off white silk fabric. The idea hit me that I could make her dress. I DO NOT do patterns so I just started cutting. I added the puffy cap sleeves she liked from one dress she tried on, the empire waist from another, the tulle overlay from yet another. And walla, she had her dress. I took it over to grandma's house to show her the dress. She grabbed the dress and started crying. I was bewildered. I did a good job, but I'm not sure tear worthy. Through her tears, she choked out that the fabric was left over fabric from her wedding dress. I had no idea. So this dress is quite special on many levels.
