Lady Bugs

First off, I have to say Thank you to everyone for your love, prayers, and support! It was a very stressful and difficult time, but God was with us. He not only brought us comfort, but he kept my Daddy with us! We have several really big scares, and even a couple of set backs, but God never left us nor did he forsake us! He pulled Dad through, and it was by the Grace of God that he is still with us! He is doing better, and we are home! Your prayers meant so much to us! It is awesome to know so many were sending up prayers! And God answered us! Amen!

Now to some fun pictures and some searching for lady bugs. It had been a week and lots of chaos and stress with many many hours at the hospital. Dad was doing better, so I stayed at my parents for the day with the girls! They so needed a little down time, they needed the freedom to run and play, jump and shout! They needed the chance and freedom to do all they love to do. So that is just what we did. We had lunch and went outside! It was totally wonderful! They had so much fun, playing and running! It was a beautiful day, it was a bit cool, but nothing to bad. The grass had greened up so much with the rain that they had just had. God is so good, when we needed to see something bright, there it was bright green grass, flowers blooming, and beautiful red lady bugs! Oh wow a delight! Lil E and I love lady bugs, so she picked up the first two and after playing with them, she decided to put them in her pocket. There were so many that we decided to collect lady bugs and make them a home for the day! It was fun! So Lil E was busy getting the grass for their home, and then she collected some lady bugs...... You can see below....












As the afternoon grew to night, we had to let the lady bugs go back in the yard, so they could grow and thrive properly. We had a grand total of 6 in the little home, and the 2 in her pocket. One got out of her pocket while outside, when it was time to let the others go. So we returned 7 ladies bugs. Then about an hour later, we were inside and playing, she says I think my lady bug is crawling up my shirt. I didn't see it. Guess what, it had, it was on her head heading to the hair bow! It was too funny! So we got it, and put that little cutie back outside too. So that meant we had returned all 8 lady bugs! They were cute and fun to watch! And both girls just loved watching them, and especially Lil E while she was finding them!
Hope everyone is doing well and is enjoying some spring time weather and beauty!

Hugs and Blessings,

What a great ladybug story! Mary and Benjamin love ladybugs too and delight in creating ladybug houses just like Lil E!

So glad that you are home safe and sound. I've missed you! And thanks for all of the wonderful comments you left on each posting...you did not have to do that!

Blessings to you from Kansas,

I am so glad to hear that your Dad is doing better. I had been wondering and thinking of you all. I bet Hubby was glad to have you back home.
