Tummy Time

There is nothing sweeter than a baby on his tummy!

8th Grade Graduation

I think we are all still in denial that Madeline will start high school in the fall.
Go Little Chute Mustangs!!!

Father's Day

The whole family was able to be together on Father's Day for a wonderful dinner at the Tourville home. Every time we all get together Tom and I marvel at how much fun we have. We recognize how blessed we are to have such a positive relationship.

The kids all had a great time playing and eating. Emma discovered the wonders of goggles- or as she calls them, Ant Glasses- used to find ants in the grass.


This was Drew's first big family outing and he loved every minute of it, even though we didn't let him in the pool!

Grandma's Studio

Our favorite little redheads!

Andrew Brent Clifford

And, of course, the main event in May was the birth of Andrew Brent Clifford. He joined us at 3:25 on May 22nd. He weighed in at 7 pounds, 13 ounces and 20 inches. Baby Drew is a complete joy.

Little bun, fresh from the oven!













Loving and curious big sister












The whole family!

Welcome Grandma!

May continued to be a big month when Grandma Cunningham arrived on the 12th to stay with us for a month. She and Emma have the best little friendship. They are a joy to watch together. Grandma tends to be a bit camera shy but her presence was certainly felt every single day. She was a HUGE help to us all and a blessing to have in our home. We can't wait until she and Grandpa come in the fall...

Happy 2nd Birthday Emma!

May is going to be a big month around here! The first major event is Emma's 2nd birthday. I cannot believe she is such a big girl. Not too sure I like that. She is not very concerned with the potty or a big girl bed but she LOVES counting (to 20 pretty darn well) and reading. She is more ready for kindergarten than several of the kindergartners I taught! I am daily amazed with what she knows.

We had the kids over for a celebration of noodles and corn and cake- Emma's favorite things!













Being the animal lover that she is, we knew her farm would be a big hit-- and Tommy loved playing with it too :)
