Sunday in the Park

We had a picnic on Sunday, my local kids and me, and it was wonderful. It had been set in order to welcome a new family member, although he's all grown up and has been for some time...

Back in February, while doing some online research, Hannah discovered her dad had a previously unknown sibling. I won't get into the why's and how's right here, but he is a genetic half sibling to James. A bit of DNA and several months searching online databases led Hannah to this discovery about six months ago. "The Uncle" and his wife had planned a visit but were exposed to the dreaded pandemic virus just in time for it to manifest its presence during their impending visit and so the meeting has been postponed and will be rescheduled at a future date.

The picnic. Bethany rented a pavilion and we gathered at the park, a practice picnic of sorts. The weather was brilliant, the food delicious, and the company sublime. I spent the afternoon with my kids and it was nothing short of lovely.
