Today my big brother turns 28! We live on different continents and so we can't have joint birthday parties anymore like we did when we were little,but at least I can celebrate here!
At home Patrick is a silly, fun presence, always goofing around and getting his siblings to do the same!

He was even able to start a music-less dance parties in my in-laws' backyard.

| Aug 2014, Casablanca |
He's also super generous, like when he took Isa and me out to probably the fanciest restaurant either of us poor lil sisters have even been to!

| July 2014, Chicago |
He and I have shared the best of friends.

| August 2013, South Dakota, with friends Emily and Sarah |
And we even went to the same university, sharing sibling lunches, a car, care packages, and of course always giving each other a hard time.

When we were all younger and would go on trips to Brazil, my dad and Patrick would often join us later, having to attend school and work. The day they arrived was always one of the best.

He has always been the leader we all follow!

| July 1997, Indiana |
And it's thanks to him and all the other boys I was surrounded by as a kid that I am as tough as I am now.

| 1994, Texas, with cousins John Michael and Jacob |
We don't see each other often, but when we do, we always have a wonderful time together, usually as he talks my ear off explaining something to me that I probably never knew existed. But it's fun.
