OT: Big Day Tomorrow

Some of you may remember that I mentioned how my wife and I had to go to Boston last month to babysit our granddaughter Evie while her mother was having a high-risk c-section at 34 weeks. Everett was born on 7APR, and has been in the NICU until today. Because of the virus, only one parent could visit at a time, and no children. They Skyped with Evie to introduce her to her brother a number of times, but she didn’t really react much.

That all changed when he came home today. We are headed up tomorrow to visit for a couple hours after we both get tested in the morning (30 minute results).

Our hearts are full.

    I don't quite have words. The second pic almost made my eyes leak a bit. These are the sweetest pics I've seen in some  time.

    Hope momma, Everett, and all are doing well.

    That's great, Mike! Congrats! Loved the photos. Have a safe trip and a great visit. Good luck with your tests!

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
