In the first 51 weeks of his life, he's done a lot.
He has conquered one of the most powerful cities in the world with his cool blue eyes and drooly smile:
He's given concerts on the art in Battery Park:
He's robbed many unsuspecting picnickers (who forgive him immediately when he flashes a grin)
He has become the heart and soul of a very happy family:
It's hard to remember life without our Van. Back when we were on time for things. Back when we didn't have to pack up the fridge to go out on the town. Back when our house was a little quieter, and a little less filled with toys.
Nietsche said, "Without chaos in your soul, you cannot give birth to a dancing star."
Well thank goodness for chaos, because it fulfilled its duty.

What a beautiful thought.
I'm am also glad, though not maybe as glad as his parents, that Van is around.
has he got the high score on any video games yet? if not then he's way behind. get him on that right away. it improves hand/eye coordination, builds confidence, and makes him a team player.
Happy Birthday to Van! We love you guys.
When were we ever on time for something?
Okay. Maybe that was before I married you. I guess it's been a while.
Happy Birthday to your adorable Van!
Where are you moving to exactly in LA? We are actually moving to Orange County in a couple weeks but I would love to see you guys & know which ward you would be in.

Susanna, that was a beautiful sentiment. I wish I was as creative and articulate. We're glad you're part of the clan... you make us look good.
i can't believe how much he looks like you, sus! lucky bugger :)
I'm on to that smile! If he steals one more thing from me, I'm not going to hold him or let him play with my glasses or drool on me...oh, who am I kidding? Of course, I will. Drool away.
He is ADORABLE!
Happy Birthday Van! We sure love you and can't wait for you to conquer California :)
I LOVE YOUR HAPPY LIFE.
Very cute, it's hard to remember what life is like before these little people join us. We always shat the heck we did with all our time?
Happy (belated) Birthday Van.
