Once There Was A Tree, And She Loved A Little Boy

When I started taking back to school photos with this tree (when G was in Pre-K!), I didn't realize the tree would grow right along with the babies I was raising inside the house it shares a lot with. Just as Grant's age and maturity has crept upon me, this tree has been quietly growing over the years that we've lived on Sunflower street. Weathering wind, rain, a hurricane, a few tropical storms, a tornado, hot, hot summers and even snow - right along with our family.

From a small seed, a mighty trunk may grow. - Aeschylus
