Our home really is getting to be the place for drop-in visits while friends are traveling though St Louis. Today we were gifted with a couple hours with the Millers! Bethany and I finally met–(we’ve been acquainted virtually for some time, but we couldn’t go to Keith and Bethany’s wedding because Tommy had just been born)–and it was so fun to introduce our kiddos to each other. Evangeline is a sweet, smiley baby (and is on the short list of future wives for Tommy….I used to have his marriage all arranged, but then Derek said I shouldn’t be such a controlling Mommy…so now I’m giving him a few options, all daughters of our dear friends, of course!). Tommy did his shy man act, but he was intrigued by E’s toes! =)

It’s amazing how Hillsdale friendships always seem to pick right back where they were before, even after months or years! With three lawyers at the table, conversation was lively. I just hope our next time together can be a bit longer–maybe we can pass through SoCal for a few hours sometime in the next year…
Oh, how fun! I’m totally envious!
It was truely a joy to finally meet you, Emily! And I’m relieved to hear that Evangeline made Tommy’ short list! 🙂 Thank you so much for opening your home to us for excellent conversation and an AMAZING spread of food!
