Will's Big Day

I'm sorry for my long absence, but my computer has been out of commission. The problem has now been resolved (mostly-I think I have permanently lost some photos, a file I was working on, and my checkbook balance-anybody know a computer geek that can help me?), so I am back!

Anyhoo, we celebrated Will's 5th birthday with a party on Saturday. We once again had the traditional backyard party with the kiddie pool. For some reason, my kids never get tired of this. And who am I to complain? It is pretty much the cheapest party a mommy could throw. Burgers, dogs, fruit salad, cake and ice cream, plus all the family and friends we can cram into a house. This year, Ben decided to make presents for Will. He made a bird out of a seashell and paper, and he made a chain of green paper. Will liked his gifts, and I thought it was very sweet.

All in all, it was a great day. Will told me it was the best party anybody ever had. He sure knows how to melt a mommy's heart:)
