Red Balloons

Last Sunday we had a fun time at the Carnival! It was to raise money for Castleman's Awareness and Research Effort- thanks to Russell's G-ma for taking us! We also met Lolly, Pop, Alisa and Sami there. There was a bunch of carnival type games and activities, a bounce house, slide, jousting ring, etc. All things Sienna will enjoy in a few years (how fun will that be?!) And there was also a BBQ lunch...

Towards the end we got Sienna a balloon and it had to be red! After my nephew Griffin passed away 4 1/2 years ago, we had a balloon release at his memorial in Dallas. Red balloons of course because that was his favorite color! Since then, sending red balloons to Griffin has been a way to remember him on certain days (his birthday and heaven birthday) and other times we are thinking of him. Sometimes we write notes to him. So this was Sienna's first time sending a balloon to her cousin Griffey! We will make sure he is a part of her life.

I love you and miss you Griffin!!! Thanks for looking out for us and your baby cousin!
