This started as a way to document the amusing antics of our 2 & 4 year old children several years ago. It has evolved into a great forum for keeping grandparents, friends, and other relatives involved in our daily lives. It is also a good place for me to share what is important in our lives, and to document those things I want to be sure I don't forget.

Making Her Debut
Our monarch eclosed today. This video is about a minute long, but it covers about 20 minutes. I'm not sure how the quality of the video will be once I post it, but on my computer, I can actually see the wings get longer as she flutters them. We released her (it was a girl) this afternoon. As we did, we noticed another female monarch laying more eggs on our milkweed! After checking over our plants, we found 22 baby caterpillars and several eggs. We brought many of the caterpillars inside, hoping they will survive a little better in a controlled environment.
