We were at the Butterfly House and the Museum of Life and Science on a warm day and it was one of those lucky days when we find a butterfly who is new, dying, or "friendly."
I even caught a copycat shot of the picture I took two years ago!
What a difference two years makes! Same kid, same personality, but so different at the same time.
Obviously we take birthday celebrations pretty seriously, but I have been wanting to do something more meaningful to mark the boys' birthdays, especially Gus since he is older. Or maybe to mark some of them more. I remember when I turned sixteen and my dad took me out to a fancy hotel lobby for a drink (I did not have an alcoholic drink, just a regular drink, but the atmosphere was fancy) and gave me my first fountain pen. It was really great and I felt very grown up. Maybe it's too soon for this kind of thing, but I do want to think about it for the future. What do you do to mark birthdays?
