When the butterflies all fly, we are on our way.....

We've been very blessed to be able to send S and V e-mails and pictures.  We are trying to share with them pictures of our home, yard and us to help them become "familiar" with where and how they will be living in a short time.  It has been such a treat to send them notes, telling them how we love them and how precious they are to us and explaining some things we will do together when they are home.

We came up with the idea of a way to count the days until we see them.  Ellie, Nate and I made butterflies out of coffee filters and will hang one on the ceiling every day. Once they are all in flight, we  will fly to see the girls.  We want to take a picture of the butterflies, both those waiting to fly and those "flying"  for the girls and include with each new note we send so they can tell how long it will be.

Fly, butterflies, fly!
