MY BABY IS 33 YEARS OLD TODAY!!!!

Happy Birthday baby!!! I love you very much. Thanks for everything you have helped me through. I couldn't have made it without all my kids. And yes, You all are "perfect"

Here is my son at probably a day old. I was so happy! I can't believe he was so small. Look at him now..So big and handsome!


A few of my friends in Durand gave me a shower after Tommy was born. I wish I had him turned around so you could see his face.



Look how young we all look. It was Sue's first communion day.




This swing was a lifesaver when I wanted to get something done. I probably used it for Jen too.





It was so much different taking care of a baby boy after 3 girls!! I loved it!






Grandpa L. holding a very young Tommy. Years later Tommy would do an interview of both grandma and grandpa L. for school. It's a treasured video.







I love this picture. I wonder what he's thinking about?








The kids loved going to the zoo. We never knew what kind of animal we would find.









I think Cindi looks the most like me. Tommy looks just like his dad now.










So fun and so cute at this age!











Looking at this picture, I wouldn't have thought what they would grow up to be like. Jen and Tommy used to fight like cats and dogs. Cindi was the quiet one who liked to perform in front of people and Sue was the little mother! I'm so proud of all of them!












At a friends house playing with his train set.













I see a little of Bristol here.














I don't know who's cuter-Tommy or Cindi.














Waiting for the bus on his first day of kindergarten.
















This is a real lion cub. Tom sr. took Tommy somewhere and came back with this picture.

















Tommy didn't get the hang of soccer. He would run up to the ball and then jump over it! It was fun just watching him.


















Sue won this firetruck in a drawing or something. She gave it to Tommy. He was a little too big for it but loved it anyway!



















Make sure you enjoy your kids while they are young. They grow up way too fast!!




















Being in scouts was a fun thing for a little while.





















Grandma L. loved being with her grandchildren. I now know why.

It's amazing how you always manage to find pictures I don't remember seeing! I can't believe there are 2 pics where I have my arm around Tom...now that's truly amazing!!
