For the past couple of months, we have had some new family members in our home that have kept us very entertained...7 of them to be exact.
These little sweeties came to us as teensy weensy caterpillars and have grown into beautiful butterflies. The process of watching these caterpillars turn into butterflies was so fascinating to all of us! We spent many hours watching and caring for these little babies. I refuse to call them insects because I have fallen in love with our little butterflies and they are part of our family now (laugh all you want, I love them). The time has come to let our little babies fly away and it was Cassidy's idea that we let them fly free in remembrance of her cousin James who passed away 5 yrs ago tomorrow.
eensy weensy little caterpillars
Big fat hungry caterpillars
The Chrysalis or Cocoon
Beautiful Butterflies
Fly Away
Butterfly fly away..
Flap your wings now you can't stay
Take those dreams and make them all come true
Butterfly fly away..
We've been waiting for this day
All along and knowing just what to do
Butterfly fly away..
We love you sweet angel James...

Oh wow! I am the grandma of those little butterflies since you brought them when you visited last month. I so wanted to see them turn into butterflies when you were here. Thanks for posting pics of them since I fell in love with them too:) Such a sweet way to release them too in remembrance of sweet little James.
