What a mess...

Things have been pretty good on the baby end. Jay's family was in town last week. Thursday thru Monday. It was his mom (who is from PA) his brother (from CA) and his daughter - 9 (almost 10) and son - 6. We had a good time with them. We stayed very busy!! Friday we went to the zoo. Saturday we had a picnic at an outlook over nashville. Then went to centinial park then to the opryland hotel. Sunday we pulled weeds at a school for church - Worship Without Walls. Then went for a hike at couchville lake. Monday before they left we went to Don Fox park. You know it's a good park when you drive in and the kids in the back yell "WOW" :) Then I took them to the airport.

So the big mess... The day before all our company arrived my dad and Jay noticed that our back yard was very soggy. Seems that our septic tank was leaking or full or something. So my dad calls his plumber to come over to take a look. A few years ago they put a sewer line in at our house. We have been avoiding connecting because we knew how much it would cost. Well we decided to go ahead with it since we were going to have to do something anyway. Well my dad's plumber said he could do it for us. To make a really long story short. He messed it all up and left the job when he hit rock and left a huge trench in our front yard. We now have someone else on the job who knows what they are doing!! And they are close to finished!!! A week and a half later... We are around $6000 into this project. Ugh!! The last thing we needed.
