Happy 8th Birthday, Xavier!

In the midst of ball season, sick little sister, and summer preschool, our second born turned 8 on June 24th.

Xavier came to us as one of the best surprises we didn't know we needed.  He's a best buddy to his siblings, and big help to his parents, and a trusted friend to those who want one.

His birthday fell on a Sunday, which worked out conveniently with a Sunday lunch at Papa and Grandma Num's.  I made him a dirt cake, which is one of his favorite desserts.

Son, you challenge us but you are the definition of love.  Your heart is huge and you forgive easily.  You genuinely care about others and work hard to do right.  We love you, bud.
