Tristan hit's 3!

Tough to believe that Tristan is three years old!

We had a party yesterday to celebrate his 1097th day on earth... I say 1097 simply because we celebrated two days late. Tristan was proud of his big achievement as it meant several new things... 1. He's a little bit bigger, 2. He has a workbook like his big sis, 3. He goes to his sis's Sunday class with her. Yippee!

The party last night was enjoyable! He enjoyed getting all the well deserved attention! Tough to imagine that 3 years ago Samantha called me when I was at lunch to tell me that we were going to be heading to the Hospital! Still a BIG thanks to the Slivoskey's for taking Aundrea for a few days while we were in Jamestown!

Now that we have three kids I find it more challenging to remember all of the details surrounding each of their birth... I guess the important part isn't these details but the value that each hold for Samantha and I. We often find ourselves less defined by what we do, and more defined by the fact that we're the parent's of three kids. I would say in the grand scheme of life being Aundrea, Tristan and Koren's dad is a pretty noble thing to be defined by.

Happy Birthday Tristan Lloyd... your mom and dad are proud of you!
