Most of our family is local, or local-ish which is nice. There are a few people on Stacy’s mom’s side that live in adjoining states that hadn’t met James yet. We had a get together today so they could finally meet him. They knew about James and his medical issues through Facebook, this blog, and phone calls with Stacy’s folks, but it was nice for them to actually see James.
Unfortunately, being in Chicago, it was quite humid, and James doesn’t handle heat well. He spent most of the day inside while people were eating and mingling outside. It was fine by me, though. I hung out with him in the cool house. For some reason, neither Stacy nor I took any pictures today. If there aren’t any pictures, did it really happen? I assure you that it did. Other than the heat, it was a good time.
