I'm in Japan again this week so I can do a blog post again. A week ago today was Will's first birthday. We had a birthday party with another boy in the ward that has the same birthday as WB (Wild Bill). The other boy is the same age but he is about half the size of Will. A few other friends came over to join in the fun. We got some sand toys to play in the sandbox outside and he love them. I gave him his first pair of running shoes. See the pic below of WB standing tall in his new Nike running shoes. The other little boy had a bunch of gifts to open that were all wrapped up. Fortunately WB was sidetracked enough with a soccer ball to realize that this other kid got a lot more presents that he did. Jen and I felt like bad parents for about a two seconds but those feelings didn't really last - it's his first birthday after all. He may not have many toys but for his first b-day I got him a 529 college savings account. (does that sound like a Price thing to do or what?)
This is a picture of Will hanging out in his crib in the old house. Will broke my iphone so I don't have a camera to take pictures anymore. So this old picture will have to do.
This is the fam on WB's birthday. Jen was having a bad hair week but agreed to let me post the picture anyway.
We have officially been found out and are switching branches this week. The cool thing is that we found out that there are seven other families from the new branch that are in our new complex. How cool is that! The play group and a bunch of other activities are in the complex. Jen is really excited about that. The bad thing is that our old branch asked us if we would speak this Sunday and you know that the new branch is going to ask us to speak soon. Double wammy.

Good luck with the speaking assignments! And, Happy Birthday to Will!
Hmm...for Quinn's first birthday he opened all of one present and it was a 're-gift' from Christmas that he never opened. I didn't feel bad for even one second until the other kids said, "But Mom, didn't he get that for Christmas already?". It's all good.
Will got most of his presents at his first party when we were there. The advantage of talking in two branches is that you will probably only prepare one talk.
Happy Birthday WB!
