Bees and Butterflies and Kittens

We are thinking of getting a kitten and went to visit some rescue babies today. 

We first went to one foster family house to see Major Tom but he ws already adopted by the time we arrived. The lady was so kind and friendly that I wanted to stay and chat even longer with her. I left wishing we were friends! She gave us the name of another foster family to visit who had 5 week old babies that we could visit for possible pre- adoption.  

We drove over to the next house and as soon as I got out of the car, I was attracted to the colorful flowers. I walked over to see them more closely and had to take some pictures to share with you.

   
 As I was looking at the flowers, I noticed the bees buzzing around and was so excited by the photos I captured with my iPhone 6. The details my iPhone can capture are just amazing. 

 

As I was following the bees I noticed the butterflies circling the flowers. 

   

I wonder what kind of flowers these are that attracted such beautiful animals.  I was definitely distracted by them and the kids got impatient, reminding me that we were supposed to go inside to meet the kittens.

We went inside and waited for the lady to get the room ready to show us the six kittens. It was worth the wait and we are excited to adopt a couple soon. 

      
Life is good.  Now we have to start thinking of good names!!

Last Walk-a-Thon


This one enjoyed walking his last laps today and was ready to go home early. He insisted he was done with his laps and did enough for the day with 26 laps. I don’t blame him as it was very hot and I am happy he chose to participate.

From the soccer field we moseyed on down to the pool to see CJ do his thing at his meet. I love this shot of him and love that he’s enjoying swimming every day.
Juliana had fun meeting her friends at Starbucks after school and joining me to watch her brothers. I love that they all support and love one another.

Being with my kids and watching them enjoy themselves are some of my favorite things.
