Abigail's Tree

Derek and I decided it would be fun to plant a tree when each of our children are born.
His neighbor planted a tree in their front yard the year one of his sisters was born and it has been neat to see just how much that tree has grown and to say it is as old as she is. We had just planted this tree last fall when we moved in so we decided it would be Abigail's tree.
Actually the tree is a "Lee Tree" and it is started from an acorn from a very famous tree that General Lee stood under to do some very famous thing(give a speech?). I'm not very good at history... I never was (a plus to marrying Derek because he has a good memory).
Anyway, the details to that story do not matter so much because it is Abigail's tree now and she is so cute hunched over in her little Bumbo [that she is not quite old enough to sit in yet]. She could hear me talking to her but she could not get her head back up so she just smiled at the grass!
