Staying alive!

This was supposed to be a cool comparison from last year to this year, showing how much my two pine trees have grown. And that they're actually still alive.

But if you click on the link and look back at the old tree pictures, you'll notice a few things that make it tough to compare. For instance, I've got the kids lined up by the wrong trees. Plus, the kids have grown more than the trees have.

I wanted to go back out and re-take the pictures (the ones you see here are from a few weeks ago), but the wet weather and ever-shortening amount of daylight has made that difficult.

Aside from all that, the trees are still alive and flourishing. And so are the kids. So I guess that means this past year has been a success.
