Thanks so much!

Thank you everyone for all the thoughts, prayers, and kind words sent out to my family. Times have really been trying - but we will get through them! There isn't any update on him today. They are still waiting for the cultures to come back. So in the meantime he is enjoying a (not so)lovely stay at San Juan Regional Medical Center.




Today Alayna and I decided to escape the house and went to The Butterfly Place with our friends Anita and Lina. It is just over the Massachusetts border. The girls had a great time seeing all of the butterflies flitting about. They also have a koi pond in there and little Chinese Painted Quail running around.




This is a really cool looking glass winged butterfly.




While I was holding Alayna this really big, beautiful, blue Morpho butterfly landed on her arm. She just looked at it for a long time and then it flew away. I think Anita may have snapped a picture of it. I will try and post that later. ** updated to include pic ** Thanks Anita! :)




Another favorite was these giant Owl butterflies. I don't think we actually ever saw any of them flying around. They were all busy eating bananas.
