Liam loves bugs and he received some really fun bug gear at his birthday party from his friends, Lily Star and Sam. Since this coming week calls for rain, it was a no-brainer to find something fun to do outside today...plus, Papa's getting cabin fever. So, Mommy, Papa and Liam headed to McConnell Springs (AKA: The Bug Park) for a leisurely walk and to take in the bubbling springs and natural landscape... beautiful! (It's hard to believe that this was used as a dumping ground until "The Friends of McConnell Springs" managed to raise funds to recapture this beautiful site!).
We enjoyed watching Liam search for bugs and his attempts to catch them with his bug tools and put them in their mesh home. He tried and tried, mostly catching dandelions and leaves. But, at last, he caught a beetle which he toted along in his new bug house on our nature walk and dining with us for our outdoor picnic lunch. Sadly, when we were distracted, our new beetle friend found a small enough hole and escaped. Liam said goodbye and began a new search in between his running, hopping, climbing, jumping and exploring.
What a wonderful day!
About Me
- ...And Liam Makes Three!
- I'm a stay-at-home mom of our three year old son,Liam. I am truly fortunate to be married for 16 years to my loving and meticulously hard working husband and friend, Billy. He supports and recognizes my role in the home with utmost importance and truly believes it to be beneficial to our family. We're proud of our decision to make being home with Liam a priority in our daily lives as we are his first teachers in all that he does. We are very fortunate to have found and belong to St. John's Catholic Church & School and are quite happy here...our pastor is a wonderful man of God. We enjoy his sincerity and humor! We look forward to growing in our new parish as it grows into it's new location of 50 acres. My parents are Liam's Godparents as well as his Grandparents. Although there are nearly 500 miles separating us, they are an important part of his faith and ours, too. We are so thankful to have friends and family like them who inspire us in our ever growing spiritual paths. Thank you for taking the time to read our blog and for being part of our lives! Amy, Billy and Liam

Papa enjoyed that running and climbing around the Springs too. It probably brought him back in time when he used to climb and roam about in the mountains as a young boy. Liam, you are bound to keep Papa young...or at least enjoy his memories and watching you!
