Spencer's First Birthday

Spencer celebrated his first birthday in style this fourth of July, partying with friends and family over BBQ and fireworks at Grandpa Nic's place in the Marina. You made it through the first year Spencer... and so did Mom and Dad!


We were lucky to have so many friends and family come from all over to celebrate with us on the 4th, including Adam and Rachel, who flew in from New York, Susan and Jim, who flew up from San Diego, and 40 other adults and 10 other kids from all over the Bay Area. You're a lucky dude, Spencer...




There have never been so many children (and childish adults) at Mike's place. In this collage, we have pictured Aunt Kathy with Spencer, Phil & Nikki with Gaby, Merry Jean & Rob with Gardner, Jon & Jane with Joey, Nancy & Aunt Donna, Alonzo & Rob with Theo & Gardner, SAPers Amy and Sabine with ex-SAPer Karl, Sarah & David with Charlie, and Owen & Jenny with Owen Jr. And we didn't even get a picture with everyone!


Spencer did pretty well overall--he freaked out when Mom strapped on a birthday hat and everyone started singing, but calmed down enough to enjoy a handful of cake later inside. He definitely needed mom and dad's help blowing out the candle. Thanks to Nancy and Nikki for such tasty cakes.


The last baby standing-- Spencer is old hat at watching fireworks at this point, and was very content watching the show from Eunice's lap. Adam led a crew off for a post-party on Chestnut street, but we were ready to crash. What a party... thanks for hosting, Grandpa Nic, and happy birthday, Spencer!
