Over the weekend we celebrated Father's Day.  I'm a big fan of extending birthdays and holidays, and this year we added Father's Day to our list.  On Saturday, we focused on Marty - letting him sleep in, hanging out in the yard, mowing the lawn, going to the dump (and we broke records by hauling 800 pounds of grass to the dump!  that's almost half a ton!), and eating a tasty meal (not at all related to the trip to the dump).  It was a good day and we had a lot of fun together.  On Sunday, our extended families joined us for another tasty meal, the parade, and hanging out in the sunshine.  The weekend was great fun, and I feel very blessed to have two such great men as the cornerstones in my life.
