A Tree with Many Branches

Our last name is often confused by adding an (s) to the end. Not a big deal at all, but my reply is always "We are just one Tree". But really we are much more than that. Our family is a small beautiful tree that has limbs that continue to grow and flourish as each season passes. It is amazing how our relationship and our children grow. I can not imagine my life any different.

My husband Eric and I are very blessed to have found eachother and we often recount those early dating years.... Always wondering where we would be now if we have never had met. We never linger on that question too long. Knowing that both of us would have survived if our chance encounter had never happened, but never really wanting to take the idea further than that.

Mikayla is 11 and is blossoming into a very wonderful person. She is calm and sometimes quirky and really doesn't know how fabulous she really is. She is our reader, our source of imagination, and our "old" soul. Her ability to adapt and to learn is something to be admired. She is smart, athletic, musical, and creative.

Gavin is 8 and such a sports lover, not so much a reader, and our cuddlier. He is very compassionate and empathetic and we hope that the harshness of the world never changes him. The way he lights up a room is amazing!

I hope that this blog will document some of the happenings in our lives and we will be able to share with our family and friends a little view into the Wood(s).
