As twins, Mary and Emma share a birthday.  Each year, we also give each of them a day that’s all their own when we celebrate them individually.  August 15 was “Mary Day,” chosen because it’s also the feast day of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.

Mary loves whales.  We visited Marineland in Niagara Falls, ON, on Friday so that she could see the beluga whales they have there. She had never seen a real live whale before, and she was ecstatic!   NaNa and Emma baked this cake for her, and iced it to look “like a beluga in a tank.”
