This is us planting the tree in April.
We went back to check on it in July. We were incredibly disappointed that in 2 months there was little to no growth, we determined that it was just slow growing.
This last trip to Robie the family went without me, (I was spending the weekend with friends from out of town) but they did have Grandma & Grandpa Malan along. When they climbed the hill to find the tree they could not find it anywhere (mostly because they were looking for something green). Grandpa Malan spotted it- what a disappointment! It was burnt to an absolute crisp!
Poor little tree- RIP
Poor little tree- RIPThat wasn’t the only disappointment. The girls took their swimsuits up, hoping to get in some water, too bad for them the lake was drained and there was no water to be found (remember that I was not around to take care of the girls hair! However, their hair is also so thin sometimes there is little to be done.)
Despite a few disappointments there was still fun to be had. 
Dad was so very lucky to have the help of Grandma and Grandpa!

That is too bad about the tree.
The pics are deliciously cute!
This seems to be a recurring theme in your life....remember the pork roast? BURNT TO A CRISP.
Very true Paula! Thank-you for bringing that to light. Apparently we are marked :)
Mere-The tree is not looking too good! Don't you love it when the kids are with the Dad and the hair doesn't get done? My husband thinks you can just throw a hat on girls and that's it, not me. The hair has to be done. Susie
Lots of hair, or no hair - they're still three of the cutest little girls I know.
Finally I found your blog via Rilie. I remember when you got that tree. Wasn't it through Sierra? Too bad it didn't work out. Your girls are so sweet. I can't wait to meet the new little man!
Your girls are so cute! Sorry about the tree. That is too bad, i am sure your girls were disapponited.
