Catching up...at least a little

Ok, so we knew it would be hard to keep this up to date and to post all the photos and stories we'd like to share since life is just so busy. We'll do better, and here's an attempt to quickly catch up on the past few months...

Our new pet - Butterfly

Today the kids were out back playing and Sydney saw a butterfly land on the grass. After the kids were ooohing and ahhhing for a while, Sydney decided this was the pet they'd been waiting for (they've been asking for a dog or kitty for a long time now...especially Bella).

Long story short, Sydney got a glass and Bella got a piece of paper (teamwork you know) and they caught the butterfly by putting the glass over it and then slipping the paper underneath so they could pick it up. After awhile they let it out but it stayed around for some classic pictures - they were convinced the butterfly wanted to stay and be our pet since it kept flying back to us!

Here are the pics:
 

And Preston's "mohawk" for the day (woke up this way...)
