A New York City Birthday Party

Tristan and William's friend Vivien celebrated her first birthday in Central Park.


Vivien and dad (Doug)


Greg and Lisa (due in October) practice with William


Tristan chats it up at the sand bar
(He is apparently attracted to older women)


The party was a success. It looks like Tristan had a ball!

Water Boy

Tristan's mom thought that is would be a good idea to show him how to water the plants in the yard. She should have known this would best be accomplished wearing a bathing suit.



In case you couldn't guess...Tristan had a blast.

More catching up...

There are a lot more photos in the gallery but few of them have stories asociated with them at this point...

Tristan was helping his grandfather Mike install some outdoor outlets in the garden. To me it looks more like a native kid hanging out in a field in Ireland:


Tristan's friend Rory came for a visit to the new house:


Tristan got his first haircut:


Tristan had a blast in his new pool:



Tristan got his first remote controlled car:


And don't think William has just been sitting around eating, sleeping and pooping. As you can see here, he is playing an active part in our Human-Alien Relations program:


William is also making tremendous strides in hygiene (seen here in his first bath):

Argggg! It's pirate Tristan!

Tristan's cousin Colin celebrated his 4th birthday with a pirate feast. Everyone was supposed to come in costume, so Tristan would not be an exception.




Colin's dad was really into the theme. Way to go Liam!



Here is the birthday boy enjoing his "cake":

Bubble Wars

While the adults were enjoying a quite BBQ, Aunt Debbie armed the kids (Tristan and friends Carey and Matthew) with the means to commence a Bubble War...

A bit behind...

OK, so we have gotten a bit behind in posting to the blog, but there are pictures to share...
