It's that time of year again when everything is fresh and new. After living on this planet for 50 plus years (:-)), I sometimes tend not to look at everyday things with the eyes of a child. Savannah and I seen our first lightning bug last night. I'm not sure if lightning bugs or fireflies as some people call them are in all parts of the country but to a two year old they are magical and watching her get so excited when she seen one was pure joy! It's no secret this is my favorite time of year and I love seeing the night sky light up with these tiny little bugs and to see it through the eyes of a child is just plain fun!!! I hope we never lose our sense of wonder at the beauty that God has put in this world but if you do, just hang around a two year old for a little while and you will see bugs, rocks, plants etc... with fresh eyes!!

aww Look at that sweet Savannah! I agree that by looking at things the way they do, is so much more fun! God truly gives us opportunities if we just watch and wait.
I hope your summer will be all that you want it to be.
P.S. I think it was Christmas before last, but Hunter got a gift of a jar with a lightening bug inside; there's a little button you push to watch it fly around. :)

Haha, what an expression on her cute little face! So true on your post that we need to step back and look at things with fresh eyes.
There's nothing like seeing things through the eyes of babes.... Sweet shot Joan!

I haven't seen a firefly in a long long time. I have fond memories of catching them with my sisters and cousins and putting them in jars beside our bed. Great memories.

There is nothing sweeter than seeing something through a child's eyes!
