A butterfly hatched this morning, what perfect timing! We had been raising these caterpillars and were worried that they'd hatch after we left for our vacation. After feeding them our precious parsley and fennel for a week and watching them for hours, we were determined to take the jar of pupae with us on vacation if they hadn't hatched yet.
I've never seen a new butterfly before, and neither had the children. It was so fun to let it crawl on our hands and arms. We let it roam around for a while on our bodies, then took it outside to a butterfly-friendly bush. Sarah decided to name it Flower-Bells.
We had a great time just admiring it's beautiful markings and colors. I'm so thankful Heavenly Father created such beautiful creatures to brighten our world. We all sat outside watching the butterfly on the bush and talked about God's creations. What a loving Father to bless his children with beautiful things! I'm so glad we had this experience this morning, what a great way to start the day!

butterflys really are incredible! They are so beautiful and so delicate. They teach our children patience, caution, and a reverance that only nature can teach. Thanks for sharing. I agree that we really do have a good and loving Father in Heaven. We are so blessed.
Hey, the 7th sounds great! We'll be there, it might be late because I'm still working, but we'll see you then!
