Chrysalis-ed

Incredible!! Chuckie and Duckie have both undergone "the change." This picture was taken just a few minutes before Chuck made his chrysalis, a process which O, J and I got to actually observe happen. It was amazing!! The chrysalis is so beautiful: the perfect shade of green decorated with tiny gold dots. This whole process just blows me away. What a miracle! We are so privileged to watch it all happen before our eyes. We'll have butterflies before we know it!
