In a galaxy far, far away – several (??) years ago – a little bundle of blessing came into my life – and she has indeed been an immeasurable blessing! I am unfortunately not very computer literate so I couldn’t figure out how to scan and drop photos into the website, so I don’t have any ‘young’ photos. But Kelly has been a delight since the hour when she was born and turned over in her little bed at Jeannette hospital! I have watched her grow through years of directing dance productions in the basement, teaching the neighbor girls how to twirl her colorguard flags, being an invaluable nanny to miss Leanne, being a valued editor of Messiah college newspaper the Swinging Bridge, traveling France and Europe, helping as a youth sponsor, and bringing joy and smiles to my life. She brought Matt into our family in 2002, and added precious time and love to her first little niece Autmn Rose (pictured) and then Chrissy.
The year Peyton (her firstborn) was a baby her and I took Jacob and Autmn to Presque Isle for a weekend vacation. She was the ‘planner’ and the reason that the little ones had so much fun! 
Thankfully she accepted the position of spray director for the kid one August afternoon, or all of us would have been soaked! 
Before I even realized how is happened (although I do know how it happened!!!) she had 3 little boys to love and care for, and of course share with me! Peyton, Logan, and Chase are stars in my heaven! I am so thankful for the lovely woman she has become, the wife, mother, and daughter that she is.
She completes our family – one that was special and important from the very beginning – even when she made her brother crazy. But I think he’s gotten even for that many times over !! 
The year that Autmn could not be at the Easter Egg hunt, she picked up a bag and gathered eggs to share with her.
Happy birthday Kelly!!! I hope it’s fabulous!
