Labor day is here. It’s a good thing too, since Lindsey and I moved ten yards of dirt into the backyard this weekend. It wasn’t too tiring, though I’m glad it’s not my day job. Later this week they’ll be coming to hydroseed the lawn, and within a few weeks we’ll have grass!
On Saturady some family friends stopped by to meet Avery. John and Jill grew up with my mom in New Zealand, and also migrated to North America (Canada) many years ago. We hadn’t seen them since our wedding, so we had a great time catching up over a cup of tea.
The big event tomorrow is that I’m getting my tonsils removed. They’ve been bothering me for a couple years now, and it’s finally time to get rid of them. I’ll probably be miserable for a couple weeks, eating ice cream and generally acting pathetic. Ah well, it’s time to rush off to a BBQ with Scott, Manivanh, and Nicole.
