Hotel de Mills

We have been looking forward to July for several months now.  Our house has been full of dear friends and it has made our hearts so full!  First up, the beloved Aunt Jen.  She came up for July 4th weekend so got to see the girls in their bike parade and of course celebrate our Independence Day in style with fireworks, homemade ice cream, and a little R&R.  It was fantabulous!
Jen....we love you so!

The following weekend we were looking forward to our wonderful friends, the Fustons, coming in but poor Tenley got a stomach bug and we are now hoping for a rain check this fall.  Our disappointment was short-lived because the following weekend our close friends, the Stehrs headed up to visit!
These girls are so much fun together...honestly, we rarely saw them when we were at the house because they just went from one room to the next playing together.  It is such a sweet friendship they share!  The above pic is at Fayetteville's Farmers Market.
We squeezed in swimming and the drive-in movie...lots of conversations (one bw Audrey and I that still makes us laugh) and lots of laughter.  This family is one that makes you just want to love the Lord and love those around you better.  We are so blessed to call you friends!

And you may think that's it but it isn't.  Our good friends, and Ashlyn's best friend, the Phillips family got to come up this weekend.  The kids were up super late, and it's been awhile since I've been up until 1 (please no old lady comments), but we enjoyed every minute of it.
I so miss having Avery around on a regular basis for our Ashlyn.  They share a friendship that will stand the test of time...but wish we could zip over to their house in under 2 minutes like we used to.
We decided to do the Arkansas thing and be "outdoorsie."  It was beautiful, but boy was it hot.  You can't tell how profusely we were sweating in this pic.  Yet, hot or cold, rain or shine, we love this family, and we're so glad they came!
