On Saturday, Brendan planted an apple tree with a little help from his dad.  On Sunday morning, Finnian asked, “Mommy, does our apple tree have any apples, yet?” This morning, Finnian asked, “Mommy, does our apple tree have any apples, yet?” I have explained to him that our apple tree probably won’t produce apples this year, but he remembers last year’s tomatoes and he is anxious to see the apples grow.

On another note, four of my children have chickenpox. Hopefully, my two youngest will get them at the same time, too.
