Tessa Lynne is 9

It's crazy to think our oldest is 9. Tessa is growing into a beautiful young lady. She loves to play the piano and has been doing so for 3 years. Thanks Aunt Kelli. She also loves to be an artist, which she is very good at. This year in school, she joined the choir. She is singing all the time and most the time we can't get her to stop. Last year she got baptized and is in activity days. It's amazing how fast time can fly by when you have sooo many kids, hehe. She is a huge help around the house and is pretty good with her sisters and brother, most of the time. She is growing more independent each day, which is hard for me. We will take it in strides. Happy Birthday TESSA!!!
