This little girl...

is super awesome!

The week before I came home for Thanksgiving she turned eight.

Yeah... EIGHT!

I don't even know how that possibly happened.

When did she get that old? I swear she was just born.

I know I sound like a lady who doesn't want her kids to grow up.

But I'm serious.

I remember when my Mom told us she was pregnant with Tess.

I was not happy. At all.

I didn't understand how our family could add someone else.

We didn't need anyone else.

I was totally wrong. 

We need her. Very much so.

Our family is not complete without her.

I'm so very glad I was wrong.

Anyway, the point of this post is that she got baptized while we were home.

Oh, I'm so proud of her.

I'm very grateful that I got to be there to see it all.

What a cool experience.

I love you my T-rex.
