Exploring

This spring we are big enough and brave enough to explore the wilderness in the large empty lot next door. Crawling through the tall grass...
climbing up the steep hill...


We found this! A brand new baby butterfly!
It's wings were still too wet to fly. We took turns holding it and we then put it back in the grass. We marvelled at how lucky we were to hold it.
And we marvelled that it was still there and we could hold it again after I ran back into the house to get the camera!

The simple things in life bring us the most joy!

The thing I really love about you...

"We marveled at how lucky we were to hold it."

You're such a good example to me! That lucky Jack to have such a great mom to point out such important things!

Beautiful pictures, Alison. What a neat moment. Isn't being a mom the best?
