So thankful for the time I was able to spend with my kids and friends last night. It wasn't suppose to be that way but an unexpected phone call allowed me the chance to stay home :) I have the rest of my life to work, which I love my job for the record, but my kiddos will only be little for a short time. I honestly debated when I got the call, but thankful I chose to take the night off. While watching the kiddos swim a butterfly decided to land on my hand. Not only did it land on my hand, but allowed us to gently pass it off between the kiddos. Addisyn's reaction was hysterical lol and so thankful to have my camera and capture the moments :) even if my camera battery died in the process and I didn't get many of Nathan. Posting my favorite poem about butterflies after the pics. Thanks to God for the special "touch" last night :) and I will always teach my children to notice God in the little things. Just pray it takes and that they will always remember to take the time to appreciate daily miracles.  

Can't find the author of this poem. . . it is unknown. . . however if anyone knows I will edit this post and give credit. Just a reminder to see God in the things we take for granted. His creation is so beautiful and we experience His miracles daily.  

The man whispered, “God, speak to me”
and a meadowlark sang.
But, the man did not hear.

So the man yelled, “God, speak to me”
and the thunder rolled across the sky.
But, the man did not listen.

The man looked around and said, “God, let me see you”
and a star shone brightly.
But, the man did not notice.

The man shouted, “God, show me a miracle!”
And a life was born.
But, the man did not see.

So, the man cried out in dispair, “Touch me God,
and let me know you are here!”
Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man….

But, the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on.
