When you are away from something for a long time, you realize how special it is. Being far from family for a year was good, but also hard . Being back home is so sweet, in many ways it feels like we were never gone. Though we cherish our time together a little more than we use to, now knowing how special it is to be by family, a true blessing from God.

Looks like you're all missing some Smiths up there, we think.
Ohhhhh I need some Scrabble time! My game has not been very good! Teach me oh wise Scrabblers!

Your family makes the most out of life, whether on the east or west coast!
Many Blessings!
