Flutter

Saturday, July 9, 2011
Last week, I took Kate to the butterfly exhibit at our science museum (the boys were in other camps).  We purposefully chose colorful clothes hoping that a butterfly would land on Kate.

And after sitting very still on a bench for a long time watching all the butterflies fluttering by, one DID land on her...

She was really hoping one would land or crawl on her finger like the last time we were here but no such luck.

This one below is from last summer...

We spent a lot of time just watching all the beautiful butterflies.

{this photo is actually sooc~ That haze is sunlight--the light was so pretty but constantly changing as the butterfly center is a 3 story glass conservatory}

Almost all of Kate's clothes sold within minutes. Thank you SO much.  I hope your little girls enjoy them as we have.  There are still a few things left if anyone is interested, click here.

  2. Hi Kim,

    I have followed your blog for some time, however, I don't think I have ever posted. I have always admired Kate's dresses. I sent you a few requests this moring, not sure if you received?

    So hoping I was the "first" to request this morning!

    Thanks,
    Diane

  3. The one with her with the butterfly in her hair looks professional. Actually all of them do! I have always thought you should "go pro" with your photography! All the activities you have done with your kids this summer inspired me to take Brian to the Field Museum and a big music festival called the Dave Matthews Caravan. It was really a fun time both days. Good memories made. Hugs to you!

    That Hazy SOOC shot is FAB!! I love the light, but I also love her adorable expression!

    I am so bummed that I have not been logging into my google reader the last few days.... I saw all the cute things you listed and would have tired to grab a few things for Reagan, but it seems as though, I am too late:(

  15. Thank you for taking the time to comment on my blog!! I am thrilled to have found YOU! Been meaning to write you for days but with the photo shoot it was just total insanity and I was going bonkers with all I had to do :) I did not see your email on here or I would have written this and sent it to your inbox... :) Glad you identified with that collar bone post as well. It is so sad and heart breaking. My little girl is 6 months old and I DREAD what we will go through with her and body image, and somehow pray that we avoid it...somehow. Times will need to change! Thanks again for stopping by. Yours is going to be a daily read of mine! xxSheridan
