The Wonder

Sitting there in your pajamas, all the time in the world. If I could keep any moment it would be this: watching you...holding my breath with the wonder of it all.- Story People


The kiddos had their first experience with lightning bugs the other night. Their first reaction was terror, quickly followed by wide-eyed curiosity and pleas for daddy to catch them so they could get a better look. Watching the wonder in their innocent eyes melts my heart, brings me back to my Father...watching what's His with a wonder we don't deserve.

I lived in CA, so no lightning bugs in my childhood. But my hubby from Chicago remembers them well!

That is so sweet. I have only seen lightning bugs once. It was on a trip to Chicago. They are so cool. We don't have them here in the desert..

How fun!!! I miss lightning bugs! We caught tons of them as a kid. My son is 6 and has never seen one until a couple nights ago! I chased that thing all over our 7 acres... no luck :-/ But he did get to see one nonetheless! Thanks for sharing this great photo.

Don't they feel magical? We still chase them around and marvel at them in our neck of the woods. Love that capture!
