Both of us come from very close families. Karen is the youngest of five children, three girls, two boys, and Paul is the youngest of three boys. When we add in all the kids, we make quite a bunch! We love being a part of a big family because it makes for a lot of fun!
Having Fun on Our Playhouse with Family and Friends
One of our favorite get-togethers is our annual Luau where we dress in our best Hawaiian attire and karaoke until we are hoarse! It is hysterical! We also love to go to the lake with everyone, go tubing and hang out at the dock and swim. All of these activities, plus many other family vacations, bring our family closer together and create great memories!
Our House and Neighborhood
Our Home
We recently built a beautiful three-bedroom ranch home in a neighborhood filled with kids! Our home comes complete with a playroom and a backyard with a swing set equipped with a lookout tower. Our house is situated in a cul-de-sac on the quiet side of our subdivision. Light traffic in our court allows the kids to ride their bikes worry free - which our son loves! Right across the street from our house is a wonderful playground where many of us families gather to let the kids play.
Trick or Treat with Neighbors and Friends
The area that we live in offers excellent schools, is close to our church, and has a recreational center where Noah takes swimming lessons and we meet with a bunch of our friends for concerts in the park. We feel we have found the perfect place to raise a family and look forward to sharing it with another child.
