It dawned on me a few weeks ago that it's silly that Adam's brother Eric's family lives relatively close-by yet we rarely see them. So I texted Emily (my sister-in-law) and we arranged a time for them to come over for dinner and pool time. And that time was this afternoon.
They brought the pizza and the grown-ups sat on the deck and chatted while the cousins splashed in the pool and played hide and seek.
It was, to put it simply, a lovely afternoon and now I'm wondering what on earth took us so long to make it happen. The busyness of life, I suppose.
Anyway, today, I am grateful for these little faces and for how Brady said to his youngest cousin "Melody, come stand next to me" and she did and he put his arm around her for the picture. And underpinning all of that, for time well-spent with family.
