Three years ago, shortly after purchasing the house we now call home, we discovered that the former owners dumped a lot of garbage in the back of the property.  This weekend Finn and I went back with a bag and collected recyclables until we had a bag full.  It's only a small start, but it's something.  I'm hoping to get a garbage bag of trash too.  Some of it is too big; they actually dumped a recliner back there.  But every little bit helps.  I hope some day to get it all cleaned up.

SaturdayFinn had swim practice followed by a soccer game followed by an appointment with the occupational therapist.  It was a busy day!  Next week is the last day of swim practice and he'll have only one more OT appointment two weeks from now.  Our Saturdays should be more sane after this.  

My father's coming up Friday evening through Saturday.  He's bringing up three of my cousins (the ones that live with him) and his wife of course.  The two of them well get a hotel while the kids sleep over.  Finn's pretty excited about this.  I haven't seen my father for months, maybe nearly a year.

Hope your dad's visit goes well. I bet Finn will have a wonderful time showing the cousins all the cool stuff to explore at your place!

Dad called yesterday. They're coming up next weekend now.

Finn was a little disappointed, but still, he'll see them soon enough!

Awww, I remember with such fondness when my cousins would come out to our house in the country. I am sure Finn is going to have a blast.

The kids should too, I hope. Sadly it's been postponed by a week now, but it'll come soon enough.
