Friends BBQ Weekend

We hosted a BBQ with our friends in July and had a great time! We also went to the waterpark during the day. Aiden and Coralai were very busy playing...

Birthday Weekend

For our birthdays this year we had a fun weekend. For Lindsay's birthday we went to Dave's Italian Kitchen for dinner, a family favorite and Claire's first time there. For Tom's birthday we went downtown for the day. We had pizza at Dags (one of his favorites) and went to a Cubs game - Aiden and Claire's first. It was a very hot day (90+) but Aiden did very well and liked seeing everything. It was also special because we got Tom's name on the scoreboard! 

Pizza time!

Staying Busy in July

The 4th of July holiday weekend we spent at home this year. It was a hot weekend so we got our the kiddie pool - which Tom enjoyed! We went to our neighbors BBQ and had Lindsay's sister Jenny in town. Jenny is expecting a baby GIRL in December - CONGRATULATIONS!! Lindsay has been enjoying time at home, taking the kids and dogs to the park and spending time with friends. We had a summer storm that up-rooted a tree and made us lose power for 24+ hours which was tough but we made it!

Relaxing

Killer smile!

June Happenings

Looks like the month of June just flew by but wanted to share some highlights. We had Tom's parents in town to see Claire - it was great having them and Aiden loved playing with them. While they were in town we did a boat ride on Lake Michigan which was alot of fun. We stayed busying making brownies, taking care of Claire, enjoying the weather, Father's Day and meeting Great-Grandma Cummings for the first time!

Yum!

It's a Girl - Claire Lillian Cummings

We welcomed Claire Lillian Cummings on Monday, May 16th at 3:08pm.  She weighed 6 lbs 7 oz and was 19 3/4 inches. It was an exciting morning since Lindsay's water broke at midnight and we had a long 13 hours of labor. Her middle name is a family name after Tom's grandmother who is 97 (Lillian Cummings). Aiden has been doing great with his new sister. We wanted to thank everyone for the visits, gifts and warm messages during this exciting time.  We are slowly getting the hang of having two kids! She is a very good baby!

Good Morning!
