Happy Birthday, Anders!

We celebrated Anders'1st birthday last weekend.  The first part of the celebration was me and Mike going to our favorite restaurant in DC (Obelisk) with our good friends Tom and Sharee.  This was our way of celebrating the fact that we survived the first year, which was not so easy.  Little man kept us up nights, often for most of the night, until just recently.  But here we are.

We also staged a little celebration with the man of the hour.  Tante, Uncle James and Ian were supposed to join us; but by the time Anders woke up from his nap, they had to go.  Tosha and Monet were also going to come, but Tosha's sister is sick.  So the 4 of us huddled around some brownies, put on party hats, and said our happy birthdays.  Ellis determined that 4 candles were needed.  One for each quarter of the year?  Hey, if it works for bankers, why not Anders?

And the young man's first taste of processed sugar.  Yeah, he liked it.
