Luau's and Butterflies...

Yesterday, we went to our friends Chris and Chrissy's annual Luau. Lots of great friends, great conversation and lots of drinks! Little did we know, though...Chris had a little surprise in store for Chrissy. While giving their "thank you for coming" speech, he PROPOSED!!! We've known since the first time we met Chris that some day this engagement would come...they are just THAT perfect for each other.

It just overjoys me to see my friend this happy. She certainly deserves it...and so does he.


AND SHE SAID YES!!!
In addition to just being a wonderful couple, they are incredibly close friends of ours (Chrissy and I have known each other since we were little kids). We have been blessed to be able to witness their relationship grow from the very beginning. Chris recently moved out here from Wisconsin to be with Chrissy and her daughter Paisley, whom he treats as if she were his own. He will make an incredible husband and step-father to Pais. Congratulations you two!!! We love you so much.

This summer, since we've been working with AM on his academics to get him a little more caught up, we decided to do a butterfly experiment with him, since we didn't have much science material. We were lucky enough to have 4 out of 5 of our butterflies hatch! We released them yesterday.

This sad little one with the bum wing didn't last long. He died within a few hours of being released in our yard.



What gorgeous creatures God makes!
