After the loss of Scott and George, our wonderful friends and family raised money to plant trees in the park in memory of the twins. They raised so much money that they could purchase two oak trees, plus had over $1000 left that was donated to March of Dimes. Truly amazing and I'm really speechless every time I think about it.
About a week ago, the Olmstead Parks Conservancy planted the trees at Seneca Park down by Big Rock. The trees are planted just on the other side of the playground, and we can walk there from our house. Scott and I went down for the planting; he got to help shovel dirt, and due to my pregnancy I just gave orders. ;)
In order to thank our friends and family that donated for these beautiful trees, we decided to have a chili dinner. It was a little last minute, since we didn't have much notice when the trees were planted, and it's also the holiday season. But all things considered, we had a wonderful turn out last night of about 60 people. Scott and I are truly blessed to have such wonderful friends and family - without their love and support we would not have been able to make it through this difficult year.
