Friends of Trees and Volunteering

In commemoration of the Martin Luther King Jr holiday and Kevin's lifelong pledge to community service through AmeriCorps, our family spent Saturday morning volunteering to plant trees in the neighborhood where Kevin serves through PDC.

It's been ten years since I first planted with Kevin on a misty Portland morning, and it's always fun to go back through our old neighborhood and point out the trees that we planted together. Now we get to share the excitement with Kieran and Makenna. While Makenna was only along for the ride, Kieran truly got into the act this year. He was digging, filling, helping deliver twine, pouring water, sweeping...you name it; he was helping. Fun stuff.
