RIP Growing Tree 1.0

I've had a reminder on my phone for the last week to take a picture of the girls with the Growing Tree - remember the one we got as a gift for Christmas and then planted last spring as the first tree planted in the new house? Well, here's the picture:

Poor tree had a rough winter (those are weeds doing great right next to it, oh well).

Alex promised me a new growing tree for mothers day - plan is to get that planted next weekend. Hopefully second time is the charm :o)
