Sister Karen Turns 53

Today is my big sister Karen's birthday. This is truly a day for celerbration

As you have read in my neice's blogs Karen had a stroke a couple of months ago. Her progress has been wonderful and it has reminded us all how short and special our lives are.

I thought I would share with you some of my favorite pictures of Karen!


Karen and Eric in the back yard of our house on 32nd street. Mom always had us stand in front of the flowers.










Karen as a little tyke. It does not seem that the strollers back then were made for the comfort of the baby. Where did mom put all the shopping bags? I also love the lamp. So fifties.









Sitting in Dad's chair in the living room of the 32nd street house. Karen was always a sharp dresser. Very 70's sweater and scarf!









Karen in her curly look. I liked it so much I had to get the same look for myself.











The early Stephens family. Michelle with no hair, and Karen and Casey with similar looks.





















Karen and Mom stopping in the parking garage for a quick picture. We were on our way to Chad's graduation.



Karen thank you for all the love that you show and give me. My life is special becaue you are my big sister!
