cherries from our tree! life metaphor aside, i did feel pretty happy about finding out we had a fruit-bearing cherry tree.summer has officially started at the allen house--yesterday was gus' last day of school, and we had the end of the year party here. only about 40-45 people total showed up--that is much better than the possible 70-80 it could have been! everything went beautifully and there were a cadre of moms who totally cleaned up the back when all was said and done. the kiddos played on the swingset, went crazy on the giant, inflatable water slide, and picked all the cherries that they could reach. even rich joined us for lunch! much fun was had by all, and i so hope we get to do this again next year.
