Those of you that know me well know that I have a tendency to find new hobbies! Some might say I'm scattered...whatever! Well, my latest hobby is a cool on indeed. So, since Brynna was born I've had this thing for butterflies. They are so beautiful and feminine and amazing. Yesterday I was at the Florida Botanical Garden with some friends and we went in to the butterfly garden. It wasn't as fantastic as I had planned, but it did spark a little something! I went straight home, did some research, and headed to the nursery! Now we have our very own butterfly garden and let me tell you, it didn't take long at all to attract the butterflies. Within an hour of having them outside, we had butterflies everywhere. This morning, I moved them out on our little back patio area and we've been watching them all day. About 10 minutes ago, we went out to check things out and we found Butterfly! Ok, we found a caterpillar and when I asked Jaden what he wanted to name him he said "Butterfly!" So alas, we have Butterfly the caterpillar! How exciting that we get to watch this little guy grow up! Now, we'll see how good I am at keeping the updates of our new family member!
