Uncle Ryan was able to stay in town through the holiday weekend and celebrate William's birthday with us before heading back to NYC. (Fun fact, I was heading to NYC for work, so we flew "home" together!)
We had hoped to get a birthday dinner when Grandma and Grandpa were in town, but volleyball went late on Saturday night so we only had time for takeout and leftovers. But the four of us snuck in a trip to the teppanyaki on Monday for his official celebration.

He was happy to be spending the weekend playing volleyball! And he had a big cheering section. I had forgotten until seeing this photo that they played girls that weekend. Girls at this age tend to have a more finessed game. The question is whether the boys are significantly taller or stronger yet. Usually it is competitive.
