well, ben, marls and i just got back from a whirl wind trip to ohio. unfortunately it was not just for pleasure. marley's great grandma, mary ann lonsert, passed away last week. she will be greatly missed. please keep her and her loved ones in your thoughts and prayers. she was an amazing lady and had a very full life. marley is lucky to have so many great grandma's in her life. we had a nice week with elmer, marley's great grandpa. he showed us around dayton, filling us in on all the history. before that kirby was in town for a week. we had a great visit with him as well. we also had a house warming party while kirby was in town. it was nice to have all of the family together. we really do have a great back yard, which we will hopefully get to use a lot, if not this summer, then this fall. being in ohio was nice, i don't think it even reached 80 degrees while we were there. but that is one long road trip. marley is an angel, but i do not recommend four days in a car with a toddler. i'm tired just thinking about it. so nice to be home...
