May 6

Way back when, we used to get together with Adam's extended family on a relatively regular basis to celebrate birthdays and holidays. As the family has grown and we've all gotten older, those gatherings have become significantly less frequent, so it was nice to buck the trend and get together today.

There was food and chatter and kids playing corn hole and basketball. And there were several trips down the zipline in the backyard (for the kids. Not me). I have no grand observations to share other than the very obvious one that it's a blessing to have family nearby. We may not see them often, but we always have a good time when we do.
