The Story Of Us

Where do I even start? This has been a month of reunions. Early in the month I drove a couple hours north and two of my very old friends (we have known each other since our pre teen years) drove a couple hours south.. they live in Canada and we had a mini reunion in Upstate New York.  The friend on the left I hadn't seen in over a decade. We went out for dinner.. talked into the wee hours of the night and shared a breakfast before heading back home and vowed to not wait another ten years before we meet again.  Then M's cousin was flying in from Californian and visiting some friends in New York around the same time my cousin was flying in from London. So we made an evening of it. I brought the boys into the city after school, M is already in the city for work and we met his cousin (who we hadn't met since she was 10) for a late coffee. Afterward we met two of my cousins for dinner. One already lives in the city and we meet occasionally and the other was visiting from London ...

Before I get to all the fun vacation posts.. for which I still have hundreds of photographs to go through.. I wanted to share a little after the vacation craziness.. When we came back home my sister in law and two kids were already at our place spending some time with the grandparents.. the day after we came home my sister in laws husband came.. and while everyone was still in our house M's aunt and uncle also came for a visit.. oh and my mom also popped in for a couple of days..  Here's a photo of them, I can't even begin to describe the shenanigans the four kiddo's got into.. it was all hugs and kicks, tickles and tears :) The last of our guests left today.. we are nearing the end of summer... before we know it'll be time to go back to school.                      Etsy             Instagram             Twitter          ...
