miracle

Meet Miracle.  Miracle is a "Milbert's Tortoise" butterfly that we found on the porch this week.  I thought it was a moth, but we googled it and did some internet research and learned she was actually a butterfly!  Who know a butterfly could live in Alaska in March?  Crazy!  The girls were sure she needed to eat, so we brought her inside for a brief stint.  She appeared to be dead, but came to life upon going back outside...thus the reason for her name:)  Ella took a TON of pictures of Miracle and both girls are writing a book about her.  Just when we thought spring may never come...
