Happy Birthday to a very special Mia April 17! Her birthday just so happens to fall right after her daddy who's birthday was April 14 and her new baby sister April 16. Thankfully the hospital was in need of beds and expedited my discharge for me to make it home the afternoon of her official birthday. Fernando, who was exhausted, went to a lot of effort to make the day special. He took her to Panera's for a bagel breakfast and made a special requested "Pride Rock" birthday cake. He also found these jungle animal figurines since Lion King paraphernalia has long since disappeared. I had hoped to be a bigger part of the special day, but was grateful to see her face when she walked into a room full of balloons, jungle banners, and Lion King playing in the background.
As a post script. . .I did take some initiative before Talia was born and took her to one of her favorite restaurants, Red Robin.
