Nurturing Families and Trees

Ah, we love our lawn.

For Family Home Evening this week, we played in the yard. Aubrey is a regular soccer prodigy. For the past two days since, she has raced to the back door multiple times and pointed outside while repeating, "Ba! Ow-sigh!" (Translation: Ball! Outside!)

After we played a bit, we planted some trees. I ordered some poplars from the Arbor Day foundation for Arbor Day (and in memory of the area of Ririe, Idaho called Poplar where my mom grew up). There is something special about nurturing a living plant, giving it a comfortable home in the soil. We love our little trees!
