HAPPY BIRTHDAY, THE RECAP

Nate and Will turned 1 last week, and like any good former-Californians, we threw them a pool party.There were some ladies in attendance, so Nate tried being the quiet, James Dean type.And Will... he just jumped around a lot.There were bubbles, too. Will liked the bubbles.The big moment came when we sang "happy birthday" and let them have their first-ever cupcakes. Will liked his a lot.And Nate wasn't interested at all.So after a while, we congratulated Nate on his restraint and told him that Americans have a chronic obesity problem and staying away from sweets will keep him from getting fat and having heart disease and things like that. So, just to shut us up, he tried some cupcake.And he tried on the hat, which is much more than Will was willing to do. And when it was all over, everyone agreed it was Nate and Will's best birthday ever. The bar wasn't set too high, though, as hey spent their original birthday either screaming or in the intensive care unit. There was much less of that this year.
