Xavier Meets a Great Aunt
Greetings to all; Happy Fourth of July!
This time last year, Xavier was still in the NICU. Rebecca and I visited him early in the morning because we knew we would not see him for one or two days. It was the first time he went without seeing his parents for more than a day. (We had to pack up the Northern Outpost is the reason we were away).
This Fourth of July Xavier got to meet with his great aunt, Mary Jo. Though a whirlwind visit of only two days, still it was a wonderful time. In keeping with the tradition we set into motion last year at this time, Rebecca and I left Xavier in the care of Mary Jo and Chellie, and we snuck off to have a morning to ourselves. We enjoyed breakfast together and a long walk in the mountains along Bear Creek. We were back before lunch, however.
