August Summer Night

I love it when the boys discover something new for the first time. It's so amazing to me how they learn about their world and how excited they get about something new that we, as adults, do not pay any attention to.

Tonight Jon and the boys were out on our swing and Kannon said, "Dad, I just saw something...it blinked!"

Jon knew what he was talking about because he had seen it too. It was a lightning bug or firefly as most people call them. Magnum quickly caught on to what was going on and joined in on pointing them out when he saw one. They were so facinated and excited to watch them. We all just sat out under the car-port watching the dancing twinkle as if they were performing a ballet for us.

Sometimes I catch myself forgetting how little my boys are because they can do so many "big boy" things. It's little moments like these that make me sit back and take notice of their innocence and wonder of the world. They have so much to learn, but they are teaching me so much along the way.
