Packing in the Fun

If you thought we were busy before, you wouldn't believe how much we've done in the last week! It started off with a bang at our pal Jaden's 4th birthday party! Then we packed some more. Then we went to Lake Michigan with the Prellwitz/Redford bunch for a great sunny and stormy weekend. Now, we're back in Ohio...saying goodbye to friends and packing, packing, packing!

Smitham Family Summer Adventures

Well, we've been busy on roadtrips meeting up with the Smithams. Two weekends ago we all met in Indy and this past weekend we went to Chicago for Steve's surprise retirement party (courtesy of Courtney). It's been great catching up with both the Lester and Smitham clans before the big move!
