Family Tree

Our family tree has changed a little this year. I'm grateful for the new branches. Andrey drew this family tree as an assignment for school. He let me keep it in exchange for an apple. He loves apples. He would eat 10 a day, if we'd let him. He had already had his one apple for the day. But he's a smart boy and knows how to strike a deal. I still think I got the better end of that deal, but he was happy. The new family photo was taken on Easter in my in-laws home. Getting four boys to all smile (with no goofy faces) was quite a task. I'm grateful that my husband was up for the challenge. "Smile- or no allowance this week!" Say cheese!
