so its a bit late, but happy belated birthday to Tristan! he turned ONE on May 29, 2007. I'm still in shock that he's actually ONE! we had a small birthday party at my parents house on May 27th. We all had a great time and I do have some pictures of him eating cake here. (plus lots of other pictures!!!)

as a birthday present, Tristan had a hernia repair surgery on June 7th. not exactly the kind of present we wanted to give him, but it was necessary. the surgery went well, everything has been fixed at the present. we go back to see the pediatric surgeon on June 22nd to make sure everything is healing properly.

in other news (happier news!) Tristan is walking. he doesn't do it all the time, but he's starting to do it more and more. he's taken up to 20 or so steps at a time. Michael is starting sentences finally, it took long enough, but it was definitely worth the wait!

other than that, life has been fairly boring. Josh is out of state on business this week in Oklahoma. so its just me and the kiddos until Wednesday night.
