love of a dog

Dogs love their humans.  Here are some examples that we captured.  

These sweet things allow Claire to take countless "selfies" with them:

 When in the car, if there is a lap available, they must be on it:

 This is my favorite.  We are playing a game around the coffee table.  Jared is sitting on the ground.  Max keeps scooting closer to him until (it's hard to tell in the picture) Max is leaning off the couch so he can lay his head on Jared's shoulder.  That is real love my friends.

rainbow looms

Rainbow looms, have you heard of them?  They are the center of Claire's world right now.  She received her first "loom" for her birthday and was gifted many bags of bands for Christmas and even spent her hard earned money on a case and second loom and hook.  Since then she has been rainbow loom crazy.  All her free time is spent doing one of the following:  make a rainbow loom bracelet, watching a how-to video to learn a new pattern, or coming up with her own new pattern and making her own how-to video.  She is amazingly good at it. She has taught me a few things and I am slow and easily confused.  She gives them away to family and friends.  She has made a little money taking orders for them.  She has a drawer full of ones she just made for fun.  She also made a case for her i-touch, some head bands, rings, key chains, book marks, and pencil accessories.
