Sorry for the hiatus. Parents were in town and there was just so much to be done---blogging didn't happen. But I'm back! - J

The "blanket" I knitted for baby Henry. Thanks for teaching me to knit, Grandma!

Our caterpillars that we've had for almost a month finally hatched into butterflies today! They're painted lady butterflies. We had 5 chrysalises and 2 hatched today. One wiggled and wiggled but never hatched. The other two are a few days younger, we think. Rachel named hers Quincy and had him walking all over her finger this afternoon. It was quite the day.

Clearly a very stressed out dog.
