Big Party

A big party to me used to be in an almost empty house with plastic cups and a keg you had to fight your way too. These days it means a party with 7 families and a total of 18 kids. Yes I said 18. The kids way outnumbered the adults. It was a blast though. We had everyone over yesterday for an impromptu cookout. The kids ran, swam, swung and bounced. We are so lucky to have so many great friends. The party included our new neighbors and our old neighbors. It also included some guys that J has been friends with since middle school and their wives who have become some of my dearest friends. Sadly we didn't take any pictures. I wanted to get one of all the kids but there was no getting them all together long enough for that.
