Our Sunshine is Seven





Its hard to think of words for our Tessa that are not totally cliched. You know that feeling when it has been rainy for a while then all of a sudden you wake up to a sunny day. You go down to the beach (or the park) and the sun is shining on your skin all warm and lovely. That is Tessa. When she was born there was no crying (on her part) and she just had this pleasant look on her face. The nurse said "Oh my gosh she is smiling" and she was. And hasn't stopped since. Everything is the most exciting thing in the world to her. She is always full of joy over the big things down to the smallest of things. She NEVER misses a chance to perform. Singing, dancing, talking, talking, talking. She loves to be the center of attention. She is always giggling and always surrounded by a million little friends. She is so confident in herself that she is never afraid to try anything. She marches into everything head on. Auntie Sheryl always says "Oh life is lovely in Tessa's world. Don't we all wish we lived there." She is happy to be alive and her enthusiasm is very contagious. Our home is a better place to be because Tessa is in it. We love you Tessa Pam.

Happy Birthday, Tessa!!!! I love that first picture of her. She looks gorgeous! I think your blog described her perfectly. She is a little ray of sunshine. And the thing that makes it even better is that I'm pretty sure she'll stay that sweet and tender forever.
LOVE YOU!!!
