Thank you SO much everyone!!!Sharon - my husband is a carpenter/woodworker and has been for 15 years. You may have noticed the rigging axes on his other arm too ;) The tree is a combination of what has provided a roof over our head for 13 years (trees...construction) and my husband's commitment to being the best father he can be. Not too personal at all :) #5439079
