A year ago we celebrated as Tessa was evicted from her temporary residence. Friends and family gathered Saturday to celebrate her first birthday. I think it is obvious that Tessa had a good time. Happy Birthday Tessa!

With this being a real estate blog I guess we should give this a real estate spin. At 1:43 AM this morning Tessa Camille Perry was evicted from her residence of nine months. She did not go quietly. Her 7lb 6oz 20 inch long frame was kicking and screaming as she was removed from the premises. Both grandmothers along with mom and dad were at Emory Eastside Medical Center in Snellville for the occasion. This granddad went to Tessa’s new home to spend the night with brother Lincoln until he awoke to the good news of his newborn sister.

Tessa, the entire blogosphere welcomes you. Thank you for making this Christmas season so special. You are our special Christmas Present.

About two years ago my son and I undertook the project of customizing my soon to be born grandson Lincoln’s room. Well here we go again. In December we are expecting Tessa Camille Perry to come join us and in keeping with the tradition of each grandchild having their own room with it’s own identity we customized her room. Tessa gets custom paint that matches her bedding along with a coordinating border above the new chair rail. And what child’s room would not be complete without crown molding with custom corner finials. Maybe we go a little overboard but that’s one of the pleasures of being grandparents.
