I love July!
This weekend was the Annnual 4th of July family reunion. I was so fortunate to grow up close to my extended family and so many of my childhood memories have my cousins in them; each year I make it a priority so I can spend time with my family. It’s my favorite way to celebrate!
And there is quality bonding time with my niece!
In other news, Mr. T was gone to FL for almost a week. His girlfriend is there for the summer visiting her father and she invited him to spend some time and meet that side of the family. The step-mom was so very gracious and generous with sharing pics and tagging me on Instagram, and he had a great time!
But I’m super happy he’s back, too!
Did That Just Happen Blog 
I’m like you Kate my phone is never out of my reach!! Lucky huh? Lol.
Glad Mr T is back safely xxx
Thanks Diana!
The text did make me smile … and realize I never take my phone to the loo! I guess it’s a good time to connect and play games š
My phone is usually in a pocket, so I don’t plan to take it, it just goes with me… but it worked out very well over the weekend! LOL
Love the texts, Kate! Awesome!
Thanks Nancy! š
How does it feel when your son is much away with his friends? I’m just getting used to our kids going to neighbours to play and it’s so weird after spending every minute with them for so long!
Love your french!
Since his father was never involved, I had him nonstop and so yes, it was so hard when he started separating, but I’m adapting:) Or I am pretending to!
Haha, pretending. Mothers š
Must feel good though that his girlfriends family seem to welcome him with open arms.
Very good!
Reunion Rules:
1. Check for cell phone reception before heading to the loo ( or, you know, just keep a spare tissue in your pocket).
Glad you had fun.
Great rules! Lol. Thanks Nancy!
I love the lack of boundaries- on so many levels here š ! I will hope thought my stepkids never come across this text series- I do not want them getting any ideas!! š
Lol, I love my niece, well, I love them all, but she and I are special close – and thank goodness!! š
You have fancy hair! Gorgeous!
Thanks!! I went in for my annual “let someone else cut my hair, I shouldn’t be cutting it myself” and I hated it. Hate it! So, I took scissors to it myself… so thanks very much, I’m still playing with getting it how I want š
Haha, that text is awesome. I guess there can be a good reason to have your phone in the bathroom. š
I looked over and panicked… I was in white capri’s and didn’t want to drip dry… I started patting down my pockets frantically and let out a big sigh when I felt my phone, because I really was at the very back of the house!! LOL
Thanks for sharing your family with me (us)! Your ability to show us even the most intimate pieces of your life!
Thank you! Sometimes it’s hard to balance real world and humor and sharing vs. over sharing! But really, it’s not a holiday until you’re trapped in the bathroom in the back of the house and have to text your niece to come rescue you! š
Family weekend for us too. It was fun. Glad you can say the same.
Sleep is needed!
Here’s to a good night sleep! š
And I’m so glad you guys had fun!
