Happy Birthday to our very, very favorite nephew! In your own Tommy (pre Thom days) way you redefined the dictionary: Inquisitive - Tommy was so busy exploring that the rest of us spent the entire outing looking for you. Rebel - temporary tattoo of sexy redhead on your skinny little 7 yr old arm. Instigator - You told your gullible Grandpa Pain that Aunt Sara had you permanently tattooed (See Rebel above). Tough guy - Cranking your jaw every night before bed and you never complained. It was killing me. Stubborn - The only thing you would eat was "beans." Now you're grown and we know you as a kind, thoughtful and wonderful son of my sister. We are so proud of you and the man you have become. We love you very much.

Love,

Aunt Sara and Uncle Butch (or should I say, Uncle Birch)
