Mendy turns 38 years OLD!

I was so happy to be in Round Rock this year for Mendy's BD.  To celebrate we decided to go to the Aquarium again with all the kids, Logan's for dinner, and then open some cards/gifts at home.  It is hard to explain to anyone what it feels like the first BD you have without a loved one.  I knew I did not want my sister to do it alone.  It is the knowing that you will not get a birthday card or an "I love you" kiss that stings.  It is just an awful feeling and no one can take the pain or sadness away.  We tried to keep our minds on other things all day and smile as much as we could.  My favorite part of the day was the cousins all feeding the birds at the aquarium.  The birds were EVERYWHERE and I couldn't help but laugh at Caelin screaming at the birds.  She clearly did not want them to land on her.  I did get a chance to steal Mendy away for 45 minutes for our traditional Starbucks birthday visit.  Happy BD sis!
