Planting our Peach Tree



My parents got us this peach tree when Julianne died and we're finally planting it now that it's warmed up. Nathan had last Friday off so we took a family trip to Lowes to get some good tree soil and then spent the balmy morning digging a huge hole and making sure the soil was just right. (Nathan did a lot of research and has become a perfectionist tree planter.:))


While we were finishing the planting Madalyn and Kylie donned aprons and took our lunch orders. Then they went in the house and fixed everyone's lunch, putting it on napkins with our names on them. They had a lot of fun and we enjoyed coming in the house to lunch waiting on the table. (The bonnet thing on her head is actually a swimsuit wrap:))
