Tristan

"Before becoming a mother I had a hundred theories on how to bring up children.  Now I have seven children and only one theory: Love them, especially when they least deserve to be loved."                  -Kate Sampson 

I knew after I had my first son, I needed another one.  I knew we needed more boys! :-) Tristan came into our lives 2 1/2 years after his big brother Austin.  I was so happy when we found out we were having another boy.  What a different experience he was than his brother.  He is always on the go.  And he was born with black hair that gradually turned nearly white.  :-) It looked like he had brown hair and blonde roots.

He has more charm in his pinky than most kids do in their whole body; without an ounce of effort.  He tends to be a little shy at first meeting but wins everyone over with one smile.

He loves ALL THINGS SPORTS and is our little jock.  He excels in everything athletic that he tries.

This is Tristan excelling on second base...

The dogs and cats are drawn to him-if he sitting, he has a dog in his lap (whether he ants them there or not).

He LOVES his picture taken and will pop in so that you don't miss getting his mug in the shot. 

Tristan is such a big help with his baby sister Ashlynn.
