Development Alert: Kachow!
William is getting better and better at communicating his wants and desires...but his favorite "word" right now is "Ka-Chow", mimicking Light'ning McQueen from Cars.

Norm's obit
There was a slight error in Norm's Journal News obituary:
William "Norm" Bancroft, Jr. of South Salem, NY, died March 6, 2009, he was 69. Born in Queens, NY on April 29, 1939 the son of William and Elsie (Neuman) Bancroft. He was a graduate of White Plains High School and held a degree from Brown University. Mr. Bancroft served as a cartographer in the US Army during WWII, stationed in Africa. He worked for IBM as an Engineer for 27 years retiring in 1994, after his retirement he worked for Reader's Digest. He was predeceased by his wife Mary Ann King. He is survived by his daughter Jennifer Bancroft-Payne of Chappaqua, NY, his son Gregory Bancroft of Pawley's Island, SC, his sister Barbara Cryan of Fayetteville, GA., and his grandchildren, Tristan, William and Madeline. Visiting hours Monday 6-9 PM at Beecher Funeral Home, Pleasantville, NY where funeral services will be held Tuesday 10 AM.

At 69 in 2009, he was a bit too young to have actually served in WWII.

Rest in Peace, Norm
Jennifer lost her dad today. Apparently, he passed in his sleep peacefully.
While he had a hard time remembering their names, there is no doubt that he loved his grandchildren. It was also clear that he loved his family, especially his children, Jennifer and Greg.
Norm has suffered with Alzheimer's for over 10 years. As Jen points out, many of the people who had met her dad during that time didn't have the oportunity to meet the real Norm. She remembers the sports loving man who took up skiing at 45 so he could spend time with her on the ski team. She remembers the "hockey dad" who brought the same enthusiam to equestrian events, scolding judges for not scoring his daughter with the ribbons he knew he deserved.
Norm is now with his beloved Mary Ann who we lost 10 years ago.

Tristan's new best friend
Jesse and Kim came for a visit...and Tristan has a new best buddy
Is it just me, or does this look like a scene from the "Three Stooges"?

Stephen's Birthday Party
Tristan's friend Stephen celebrated his 3rd Birthday with not one, but two parties at his apartment in NYC. There is Stephen in the red shirt...
The hit of the party was the puppet show...featuring Princess Perfect and her protective brother, Spiderman.
Tristan had a wonderful time. As a matter of fact, T re-enacted the entire puppet show on the ride home from the city.
