I don't know that I'll be around much this week. LJ and Collin are coming in tomorrow. Mollie, plus the cat and puppy will probably come for the duration and our big family reunion is this coming weekend. Can you say busy? Now for some of you this would be a calm week, but Nick and I are really used to living alone. We love everyone who will be here, but we are not used to such a crowd, even before the reunion. But I am really excited to see my boys!
We'll be heading to the lake with cousins right after the reunion so I'll be back sometime the middle of next week.

ReplyDeleteHugs From Ella
Well thank you and Amy both. I do love my whole family.
DeleteI love #8,20 and 22! You make me laugh first thing in the morning. And that's really an accomplishment. Thank you! Enjoy your family. Time with them is so precious. Try to find a few minutes of alone time or hubby time every day to unwind. A whole week can be exhausting.

Glad I gave you a giggle. Even finding a few minutes alone could be a challenge this week, but I'll give it a try.
DeleteThe meme was fun, PK. Have a great time with your family.
