As we celebrate our nation's birthday--an impressive 232 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence--with the usual mix of summer parade and picnic fun (see photos above), we also will be celebrating tonight the one-week birthday anniversary of our new nephew/cousin: Nate.

How long before Nate and his cousins start singing this unforgettable diddy?
