This past Thursday was a beautiful day so we decided to take my daughter to the park. We left our house and started walking. Something flew right down in front of my eyes. I looked up and showed my daughter and husband that it was something that looked like a very tiny dragonfly, about the size of a fingernail. It followed us the whole was as we walked to the park. When we got home I came home and looked up baby dragonfly, and what we had seen was one! They are called a nymph, and they look just like dragonflies just super tiny babies. It is so funny to me because I live in the desert! I never see dragonflies here, at least before I was pregnant with Emery! I have seen a new one every day since he has been born. Sometimes its a picture, or something else I see at a store. I never seek them out, but when it fits into my life I have bought some for my house/yard. I have some pictures of some of them. Not all of them, some I couldn't get good pictures of. But the dragonflies bring me such joy :) I know it is Emery looking out for me.
decorative bird house in our room, my daughter picked it out.

Large butterfly and dragonfly to put on my fence.
On a tapestry my husband has had for a while, that I NEVER noticed the dragonfly on.
Dragonfly pot, where I planted the seeds that came with his urn.
Soap holder for the bathroom.
I may be turning into a crazy lady obsessed with dradonflies, by putting them all over my house, but I feel like I am able to include Emery that way. It is my way of including him in my every day life, and seeing them all bring me a smile every time!
Ashley, you should google the meaning of dragonflies. I also had a very spiritual experience with dragonflies over the summer that changed my life. They have long been considered to be signs of finding inner peace and overcoming adversity.
