Love my friends

I have ever mentioned that I have the best friends in the whole world? I do, really. A couple of weeks ago, my two friends, Jana and Rachel, came by and got all four of my kids, and took them to The Painter Potter (I think), and made this beautiful hand print platter for me.





I love, love, love it! My precious friends also brought us some of the yummiest enchiladas and roast I have had in a long time! THANK YOU guys, you're the BEST!

I got tears in my eyes when I read the platter. I've thought about Emma as a butterfly for a long time now. I imagine her as being in the cocoon right now, restricted, not living to her full potential yet. When she emerges, she will fly freely. No pain, no cares, just freedom. When I see a butterfly I think of Emma and smile. She's my beautiful butterfly...

If I were a butterfly, would you be a butterfly?
Would you fly away too?
Cause I would fly.
Yes I would fly.
I’d be anything with you.
Yes, I’d be anything at all with you.
