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!



Faith showing me where the cocoon hung:



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

Ryan's sister gave us caterpillars for Christmas along with a butterfly habitat. The kids got to watch the process from start to finish. It was amazing!!

That is so cool! Amazing that she just happened to see it at that exact moment. Hailey would have freaked out - she loves butterflies. :)
