On December 27, 2010 Brooke and Cody welcomed little Tristan Lyman Parkinson into their family. I was blessed to be present as his birth as were Laci and Karalee. He was 7 lbs 3 oz and 20.5 inches. He is a very calm, sweet little boy that lets his parents sleep at night for 6-7 hours straight. I am told that quality is from Cody's side of the family. Even though Tristan is #15 grandchild, love overflows my heart and kisses never cease. I have been able to help Brooke for the past 15 days. Obviously, having 14 nieces and nephews has helped Brooke seem like a natural at changing diapers and caring for Tristan. Another great blessing is that Brian McCune, Laci's husband, will be Tristan's pediatrician. Brian has told Brooke to call his personal cell phone anytime she has a question or concern. It is so great to have a Doctor in the family. I was really sad to leave today but Brooke is in good hands as she has 4 sisters and one sister-in-law close around as wonderful examples and who would help her at the drop of a hat if needed. And some nieces that I am sure will make wonderful babysitters.
