Well, I would have updated sooner, but I was quite sick over the weekend. Seems Heidi and I got the flu… We thought it was food poisoning at first, but it was just actually the flu timed in such a way that it made it look like we both ate rancid meat… Either way, it was literlly the shittiest time of my life — next to that time Stussy and I ate the 3 day old (god, was it three days old?) bowling alley chicken. Anyway, that’s a tale where details are better left in the dark…

Heidi ended up calling everyone who was going to make it to Rhys’ birthday shin-dig and cancel. We didn’t want to give any of them this horrible funk we had. Naomi and Rey decided to come anyway. While I salute their devotion to my son, I also question the decision. I sure hope you guys aren’t sick… My mom also attended, and just yesterday informed me that she was feeling pretty ill… Great… Anyway, that ruled out food poisoning…

So, we had a little party for the Rhys-man anyway. Here he is with Lola:

It’s always great when she is here taking care of him. It gives Heidi a much needed and deserved break because well, daddy isn’t much of a baby guy, and he’s ALWAYS quiet for her!! He never really shuts up for us like he does for Lola! hahaha

Here’s birthday boy and his first cupcake. As you can see, once he discovered what chocolate tastes like, the cupcake didn’t stand a chance. He almost burned his finger on the candle too!! Just like daddy!! (Uhh… That was on my first birthday too, not like recently or anything… Sheesh!)

Lastly, here’s a shot of mom after her and Naomi cleaned all the cupcake guts off of him. :-D

Well, that’s about it in our neck of the woods… Things are about the same on all other levels. I’m feeling a bit better about things in general, so that’s a good sign. Hopefully this trend continues…

Happy Holidays everyone!!
