Butterflies and Benefits

So here are the last of the 5 butterflies which grew and lived in our house for the past 4 weeks. We marveled at the perfection found in nature and sometimes...the imperfection. One butterfly came out of his cocoon with a deformed wing. Noah was very gentle with it and found a nice "home" on our sedum flower for it to live out its short life. The other four are making their way down to Mexico. Over the weekend, the boys also had a chance to "fish in the East Sea" and play with the tiger at the Benefit for Korean Children. Proceeds of the event go to Korean adoption facilities to help birth mothers, fosters mothers, and babies.

Little Boy Wisdom #16: Everyone needs a place to call home, no matter where you are born and no matter the size of your wings.

Beautiful photo! One of my favorite things about kids this age is their fascination with the natural world--you've captured it so well here.
