It was pretty clear from the beginning that he was a "Javi," but it took us a while to formalize. Here's where we landed. "Marsha" gave him two names at the hospital, and of the two we really wanted to keep the name Avery. We've decided to make Javier his middle name and keep Avery his first. Julia's name is actually Mary Julia, so calling him by his middle name will be in the style of his mother.
Avery Javier C.
Or as we call him: Javi
P.S. - A quick Wikipedia search might lead one to think that José is an obsessive baseball fan, since both Steve Avery (pitcher) and Javier López (catcher) played for both the Braves and the Red Sox, José's two favorite teams from the two baseball cities where he grew up (and also his grandfather's two favorite teams,) but that's just a coincidence. Seriously. You can turn just about any two unrelated facts into grand conspiracy through the magic of internet research.

Still a comic. I remember you sitting at the kitchen table reading us all jokes from a book, and elaborating with your own along the way.
