Karen, 31, is a warm, loving and creative person. She has a wide range of interests from children's literature, animals, to gardening. Karen earned a Master's degree in Education of the Deaf. For five years, Karen taught preschool and Kindergarten deaf children in a special education classroom before becoming a part time first grade teacher. She now works only two days a week so that she can devote more time to her family. Karen loves being a mom and delights in every moment she spends with her child. She can often be found hanging out in the children's section of the local bookstores, with Jonah, picking out more children's literature for their already huge collection. She also loves taking Johan to the local zoos or just playing with Jonah in their backyard.

Chris loves his job, can't wait to get to school in the morning, and appreciates the individual learning styles of all his students. Chris loves being a dad and treasures his relationship with Jonah. Chris enjoys gardening, music and antiques. His favorite summer activity is enjoying picnic dinners, with Karen and Jonah, while attending our city park concerts. Chris also shares Karen's passion for children's literature and loves reading stories with Jonah.
	Jonah is a happy, playful and active toddler. A few of his favorite pastimes are going to the park to ride his tricycle, and playing with his toy cars. Jonah loves animals and enjoys making trips to the zoo and farm as well as petting our cats, Abbey and Bailey, and our dog, Maple. Jonah has an engaging personality and likes to make friends with everyone. He adores babies and we know he will be a loving big brother.
