I'll let you know how the big reunion goes tomorrow with Number Three Son but it might be a while as I have a Welcome Home Party for my sister and her husband to plan (I've done nothing except invite about 40 people) and pull off on Thursday. Keep your fingers crossed for sun.


In the meantime go visit Jen at Harried Mom, she's got a great give-away which I am going to win but you can check out anyways.

  3. How time flies without those little guys around! “Me time” is precious but I’ll bet you missed them. ;)
    Hope your summer is going well – despite all the rain!
