We celebrated Karen's 40th birthday on the 19th of February! What a blast! Jacob had sent out an email requesting messages for Karen, and over 80 messages were posted as part of the party decorations! Karen was amazed and thrilled. We had a great time, entertaining some 40+ people. Of course, all of this was possible due to the generosity of our friends, Jim and Barbara McNamee. They allowed us the use of their home and the community "common room" for the party.

Thanks to EVERYONE who made this such a great success!
