Monday morning Miller and I loaded up and went to Birmingham for a quick trip. My aunt Linda {my mom's sister} was in town from Texas and they decided to have a mini reunion of sorts.
Back row: Donna {mom's cousin}, Linda {my aunt}, June {my great aunt, my late grandmother's sister}, Carol {mom's cousin}, Barbara {mom's cousin) Front Row: my mom, Debbie {my aunt}
Here's the second & third generation that was there. Back row: Morgan {my cousin}, Miller, me, Austin {my cousin}, Brandy {Austin's wife} Front: Preston & Sawyer {Donna's grandsons - this makes them my third cousins?? Is that right?}
Joe, Randy, and Martin. A few of the husbands who married in to the crazy Stuckey family. Yes, I did in fact say Stuckey.
After Miller had his nap, we loaded up again and headed over to my dad's house for a belated Father's Day dinner and to spend the night. Miller had so much fun playing outside with Poppy & Cissy until dinner.
He wasn't quite brave enough to try out the big slide yet.
He even helped them do a little yard work. In his swim diaper. Somehow I failed to get any pictures of him in the baby pool. It had a little slide and was FULL of new water toys!
This morning Poppy & Miller played outside a little more, watched some cartoons,
Before we left town, we decided to grab lunch at one of my favorite spots in Birmingham: O'Carr's. Miller ate a little chicken salad and a TON of fruit. He loved it! Poppy got us a piece of chocolate swirled cheesecake to top it off. It was deeeeeelicious!
After lunch we met up with Gran and Aunt Linda at the Summit for a little shopping.
Miller was asleep by the time we made it to the interstate. I could have been, too!
The older I get the more and more I appreciate these family get-togethers. I love hearing all of the old stories and reminiscing of my childhood. We really need to do it more often! And of course, it's always fun to see Poppy & Cissy. Thanks for a great night!
