My mom gave us a baby peony tree to plant at our new house. For now we planted it in a pot, then someday we can plant it in the ground if we want. It doesn't look like much just yet but it's supposed to bloom once this year and I can't wait to see it. As cheesy as it sounds, to me the tree is a symbol of our little family. We're in our new home, just starting out really just like the tree. It takes love and care to keep it going and we all have to put in the effort to benefit from the beauty of it's blossoms. Rob, Natalie, and I all planted the tree together. The first day after planting it Natalie woke up and ran to the back door saying "the tree needs water...it's going to grow pink flowers!" We had to buy a watering can for her to use because we gave her cups of water the first day and she just kept dumping them in the same spot.
