right place at the right time

Faith was playing outside and she just happened to notice something wiggling, she looked a little closer and saw a "leg sticking out of a cocoon". She called WesLee over too and they watched this Monarch butterfly come out of its cocoon! She said it happened all at once, very fast, when it came out. They came to get the rest of us. Wes carefully let it onto his finger. I wasn't sure if that was best but he insisted he would be careful so its wings could dry. He eventually put it on the yellow flowers where it continued slowly flapping its wings to dry and then flew away!

I thought that was awesome. God's creations are amazing.

Jacob lost 2 teeth in one day!

The "tooth fairy" left him a little extra that time. He insisted on writing a note that said "please leave the money under my pillow" and to please write him back. Apparently, the tooth fairy (Matt) used to put the coins on the floor or between the bed and the wall, to prevent waking the boy (who sleeps with his eyelids half open, seriously). But this time a new tooth fairy did the job (me) and managed to get it under the pillow without waking the boy, even though she really thought he might be faking to be asleep, because his eyes were actually closed. Hmmmm... :)
