How lovely are the branches

For those of you who have been to our neighborhood, you've most likely noticed that there are very few trees, especially larger trees. Well, not any more.......at least at our house. Ryan was able to get this Sycamore tree from his work and we had it transplanted here on Sunday. I can tell that Ryan is really happy to have this tree - I caught him gazing out the window at it several times yesterday.

Ryan's mom and grandpa were in town over night on Friday and we were able to get some new family photos taken.We also were able to get some lunch and provide a brief tour of Kalamazoo to Ryan's grandpa, who had never been to our house before.

Of course, Grace must be included in at least one family photo.
