"He who plants a tree...


Plants a hope."

-- Lucy Larcom (poet, educator and editor in the 1800's)






Do you see a reoccurring theme? I've never been the type to collect things, objects or otherwise. I have not been very sentimental either (to a fault, Brian would say)... until now.


Hope ; Hearts ; and anything Garden.


What better way to give tribute to all three. Figuratively and literally. After much delay, we finally began our own Garden of Eden with this "perfect purple" crabapple tree. AND... thanks to our friend Sandi, Eden's room has been adorned with this beautiful, hope-ful, tree. Do you see the hidden hearts?





Here's to a future full of hope, love, and growth.


Update on Eden: Her heart continues to do well. Her spirits, on the other hand, seem to be diminished a bit with this cast. 1 week down, 2 to go! Wish us luck and strength!
