HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAREN........OCTOBER 29, 2014

Happy Birthday Karen

Paige 5 Years Old

John and Claire

Now 9 Months Old

This family is now Complete

A Gift

Paige

Now 6 years old and in the 1st Grade

Karen is first and formost a wife and mother. Family is her highest priority. For 5 1/2 years, she mothered Paige, taught school, and supported her husband, Roy. Today she is the mother of not only Paige, but twins, Claire Ellis and John Patrick.

Taking care of these babies was a 24/7 endeavor for many months. The babies are now eating, sleeping, and playing on a more predictable schedule. Karen is teaching online education classes and running or walking with the babies twice daily. She takes Paige to tennis and dance lessons twice a week....babies in tow. She cooks dinner nightly and decorates her home according to the season. She drives 20 miles to the nearest grocery store once a week at night while Roy stays home with their three children.

Life can be crazy and wonderful at the same time. Being a mother

is the most important and demanding role a woman will ever have.

Karen is becoming a Pro

Look well to the ways of your household, .....and your children will rise up and call you blessed. Proverbs, 31

Karen, Poppy and I love you! We are happy that you have the family you so desired.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY
