Children's joy




Many moments in life we take for granted. This afternoon, I was doing some work in the garage and after J woke up from his nap, he and T played nicely outside doing this and that. We have a hill beside the house that the kids run up and down and they discovered this beautiful butterfly on one of the butterfly bushes beside the house. This adorable little creature literally entertained the children for over 15 minutes dancing through the air just above their heads. Their laughter was contagious-they were chasing this butterfly all over the yard, and giggling the entire time. A few times the butterfly flew above the house, only to come back as if it was teasing the children. They couldn't get enough! A neighbor even stopped over to see what all the laughter was about. What a precious few moments as I watched my children enjoy a bit of nature on a beautiful Fall evening.
