Mark at 9 weeks old and Mark now.
Yesterday Mark turned a whopping 37. His birthday is always a bittersweet day. In 1999, Mark’s dad, Miles, passed away after fighting cancer for a year. He died on Mark’s birthday. So, though we celebrate Mark’s birthday on September 10th, we also remember his dad and miss that he’s not around and that he never got to meet his grandchildren.
We gave Mark a big tub of peanut butter cups (gave him the same thing last year…and he loved them), two t-shirts from J.Crew (love their soft tees), the game Risk (he’s been wanting to play that one with Evan), and a gift certificate for a 5 minute helicopter ride (I’m particularly excited about this one as was he!).
Happy Birthday Mark! Rand will be so excited to hear you got Risk. Rand also has that game, but no one (meaning ME) will play it with him.
