Our New Tree

This is our old tree.
v.e.r.y. dead.

digging her up...
... it took about 2 hours
This tree housed a bunch of frogs.
we transported them to our other tree...
we like our frog friends. they eat bugs.

Luke was a good helper the whole time
(well, until I took him in for a bath and bed time....
we did this as our FHE activity, after talking about
Heavenly Father's creations and doing all
we can to help keep it beautiful....so it was getting
past bedtime toward the end of digging this puppy up)
Here is what it looked like once the tree was gone.
so empty.
this is what Olivia spent the whole time doing....
running away. :) She loved getting chased!

Here's our new tree.
We bought it, and planted it, last Saturday.

Now, please, please, pLeaSe grow
healthy and strong!!
