AUNT KAREN'S BIRTHDAY

Michael's Aunt Karen from Ohio has been staying here with Gwen for a few months now. We really love having her here and hope she never goes back :-) I'm sure all the family in Ohio feels differently but for now we have her here :-) Saturday was Aunt Karen's birthday. Michael, Gwen, Karen, Davis, Diana, and our friend Mike & his son CJ all spent the day at the zoo to celebrate. Aunt Karen had never been to the zoo here so it was quite a treat for her not to mention the ice cream before they all came home. I just love to see Karen with my children. For those of you that know Michael's life story he lost his birth mom Rita when he was 11 days old and was then adopted by her sister Dianne. Dianne passed away when Michael was 11 years old at which point Michael went to live with his sister Gwen. Karen is a sister to both Dianne & Rita and I know it means a lot to Michael to have her here spending time with our children. It makes Michael so happy. We love you Aunt Karen!! We know Gwen is happy you are here too :-)
