Butterflies

Have you ever seen this commercial? Well Erin has and every time she saw it she would beg us to get it for her. Well we caved and got it for her for her birthday. You have to send off for the caterpillars and they can't ship them until it is above a certain temperature. We finally got them a few weeks ago. It has been kind of fun watching the whole life cycle of the butterfly. If you can believe it, all 5 caterpillars became butterflies. When the last one "hatched", Erin wanted to let them go.

It is hard to see, but Ivy has one on her hand.

Once again, hard to see, but one is on the wood chips.
This one is my favorite picture of Erin letting one go.
And you gotta love this one :) Ivy was telling Erin "thanks" for letting her help release the butterflies!

Mindy! I loved reading all of your updates!!! ...although you are making me look bad since it's been over 6 months since my last post! Looks like you all are having fun and keeping busy. Can't wait to see you at the wedding. Just hoping that you have better weather in store!

That last picture is the greatest. Dylan has been bugging me about getting that butterfly thing for ages.
