The big man of the house had plenty of help planting them Sunday afternoon.
Aren't they pretty? 2 apple, 1 red plum, and 1 cherry. This could be addictive. I wish I Bob could buy/plant a tree every day. We he is not finished, still need to put the trim and mulch around them. But I already love looking out the window and seeing them there.
Oh yes. For the big bus fans out there-here's our hot ride.
Representin' our African peep-we heart Sudan Ethiopia.
I am missing a girl I have not met. How is that for strange? Summertime is full of fun. Barbeques, water play, outdoor grilling, ice cream and slush making. Thoughts of her occupy my mind. All the time, all the time, all the time. She would probably like roasting marshmallows too.....
I find myself feeling guilty. I know it's unreasonable. The process takes time and there is nothing I can do to speed it along. Yet, I am continuously, painfully aware, she is there, in an orphanage. We have a daughter in an orphanage. We play and recreate as a family, in a home, while she lives in an orphanage. Oh how I wish it wasn't so. Yet another aspect that has taken me by surprise and causes my heart to ache. God is near to the broken hearted-I know that applies to me. I wonder if it applies her as well. I only wish I knew.

He is with Meadow! I know that! and I'm sure you do too! Love the new trees (do I see jars and jars of jams and jellies in your future, oh and apple sauce and apple butter!) And, the van is great...with more room to grow, right?! Great post!
love the ride.
love the trees...even if they are teeny tiny ;-)
