Sean left for a trip to the United States on his birthday.   He attended an advanced training class for PowerSchool; and got to spend his birthday with his parents, who decided to fly down to San Antonio to see him.   Michael and Rachel were so sweet to be sure to make Sean’s evening special.    Friday before he left they secretly slipped away and went to Paris Baguette to get him a cake.

Maddie and Jessie, unfortunately missed the “party” since they were at the Middle School Lip-Sync Party.  They performed a duet to the song, “What is this Feeling?” from the musical Wicked.  Megan was so excited to help daddy blow out his candles.

When Sean returned the following weekend, I ordered a lemon cheesecake from a new bakery/restaurant just opening in our area called Aaron’s Kitchen.  Unfortunately, the cheesecake never was delivered on the evening I ordered it to be delivered.  When I called to inquire about it the next day,  Aaron told me that one of his staff persons sold the cake to another customer!  Apparently the cake was on display in the front refrigerator case.  The Chinese worker told Aaron  (the owner of the restaurant) that a foreigner came in and said they were here to pick up the cheesecake they ordered.  The case of the Missing Cheesecake was solved.   The girls were terribly disappointed.  But Sean wasn’t since I had meant it to be a surprise.
