the eric update - day 1373: visiting 6,000 butterflies.
someone's a bit behind on uploading photos! ( hint: these days if you're paying attention to twitter maybe you could have met us for lunch )
over easter we trekked to meijer gardens in grand rapids, michigan to catch the largest tropical butterfly exhibit in the nation with over 6,000 butterflies. i had imagined that we would be surrounded by hundreds of butterflies at any given moment, but - alas - it wasn't quite like that. more like, if you looked carefully you could see a butterfly here and there. still, more butterflies than odin has ever seen which made it all worth while.
the neatest part was watching the butterflies hatch from their cocoons in the breeding area just like we've read a bazillion times in the the very hungry caterpillar.
you can click on each image for a brief description.

“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.
he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.
if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
