Bec and Warwick (who is a nephew of our dear friend Judy from Australia) have been backpacking through the U.S. and Canada and were able to stop by in Northeast Ohio for a visit with the Murray family!
Bec and Warwick had just arrived in Ohio that day, and our first stop was the Club. Chas was working, and we knew we'd find Aunt Debby and Uncle Lenny -- along with Carrie, Mac, Chantal and Keegan -- on hand. We figured that way, the Traveling Aussies would get to meet most of the family all at once! (September 1, 2005)

The next day found us at a picnic on the shores of Lake Erie. Since we live so close to the lake, we wanted to show it to Bec and Warwick and thought -- why not make a picnic of it? (September 2, 2005)

Bec, Warwick, Carole and Larry -- on the shores of Lake Erie.
Judy is traveling (we just received a postcard from her from Moscow!) and will be in Ireland next month. We know what hotels she'll be staying at and are going to send a copy of this photo to her hotel in Killarney -- to surprise her and let her know we're thinking about her during her journey.

Saturday found us at the next-door neighbors to help Ava celebrate her third birthday. Bec and Warwick made some fairy bread to take to the party, since it's a must-have at children's parties in Australia. (September 3, 2005)

This was the Labor Day holiday weekend and Sunday is usually spent out at the Willson's home in Litchfield. Warwick tried his hand at our currently favorite lawn game: cornhole. (September 4, 2005)

After we took that picture, Mac wanted another one of her and Bec -- which we gladly took. (September 5, 2005)
