Our Little Entomologist

I love how Natalie has opened up the world of little things to me. It just takes finding one little bug to make her day. I call her "spidergirl" because she hunts out all the spiders (or bees, or beetles, or whatever!) from the corners of every room in our house. No fear in this child! I love it!
