I learned this tradition from my Gundersen family. We plant a fruit tree upon the arrival of a grandchild. MacKenzie has a yellow delicious apple, Logan a pear tree, Sydney a cherry, Hunter an apricot and now Baby B has a peach tree.
a new peach tree in celebration of another grandchild - coming in October
Helga and Kirsten came to visit Tante Fietsch last weekend and we joined them for coffee break on Sunday afternoon.

What a fun tradition! Looks like a beautiful day to be outdoors. We are so excited for baby B!
ReplyDeleteHey nice picture of You and Pete. I love that grandbaby tradition. I think we should do that. It's a bit late and we'll end up with an orchard....but what a great idea.
ReplyDeleteTante Fietsch looks good in that picture.
