Today we planted a Bigtooth Maple tree in our backyard in memory of Marshall. It has a few yellow leaves on it right now but in the spring it will have green leaves, which will hopefully turn bright red in the fall. For the past two days Madison has been working on the place in the yard for the tree. He took down a section of our fence (we eventually want to put a chain-link fence in the back so that we can see people playing soccer or whatever in the way-back), moved the sand box into the shed, and dug a big hole for the tree. Here are some photos of Derek and Dad working on planting it.
They cut the plastic tree pot with a little hand saw because they couldn't pull the tree out.
They later resorted to an electric saw for the bottom of the pot.
All planted and watered.Love,
Heidi

Come and gather around the table
In spirit of family and friends
And we'll all join hands and remember this moment
'Til the season comes 'round again
Lets all try to smile for the picture
And we'll hold as long as we can
May it carry us through
Should we ever get lonely
'Til the season comes 'round again
One night holy and bright
Shining with love from our hearts
By a warm fire,
Let's lift our heads high
And be thankful we're here
'Til this time next year
May the new year be blessed
With good tidings
'Til the next time I see you again
If we must say goodbye
Let the spirit go with you
"Til the season comes 'round again
May the new year be blessed with good tidings
'Til the next time I see you again
If we must say goodbye
Let the spirit go with you
And we'll love and and we'll laugh
In the time that we had
'Til the season comes 'round again.
Love Amber Miller
