My Tree!!

Yesterday our super helpful neighbor, Brother Toyn, brought us a truck load of compost for the backyard. As he was backing the truck up in the backyard so we could shovel the compost out, he backed over one of the trees we planted two years ago. It bent clear over to the ground! The good news is that it rebounded to almost up-right again. There is quite a scrape on the bark but we think that if we stake it the tree will recover since it's still quite a sapling- only about 2 inches thick. He felt so bad about running over the tree. He helped us fix a few problems with our sprinklers while he was here.
But, the most exciting part about yesterday is that the electricians came! We have working lights and powered outlets in the basement now! No more using an extension cord plugged into the only working outlet. Little John slept in his real crib (not the port-a-crib) in his own room last night. He was so excited by all the changes he took forever to get to sleep. He had a three hour nap in his new bedroom today so I think he's settled in.
