Out of Town "Guests"

Last Thursday, our sweet friends, the Guests (Brad, Beth, Nia, & Noah), cruised into town. Cruised would be the appropriate word too, as they rented a RED Dodge Charger for their journey from Jonesboro, Arkansas to Atlanta, Georgia! We had SO much fun with this precious family. David went to college with Brad and Beth at Arkansas State University. David and Brad roomed together for 3 of those years. They are friends with me by marriage! Ha! Thursday night we grilled out under the tutelage of David 'Bobby Flay' O'Dell! Friday and Saturday we spent our mornings at the pool. The children had so much fun playing in the water together. Carter, Summer, and Tilly were so excited to have their friends over! Every morning Carter would ask, "When are our friends coming over today?" Sunday we worshiped together in the chapel at FBC Austell and enjoyed our BOGO lunch at Stevie B's. (Did you know that if you show your church bulletin on Sundays at Stevie B's that you BOGO free?) The O'Dell party of five goes almost every Sunday for lunch! That night we introduced our Guests to the sweet words, "What'll ya have?" after shopping at one of my favorite stores in all of Atlanta, IKEA. Who can come to ATL for vacation and not eat at The Varsity or go to IKEA? I have pictures from our time at the Varsity that I still need to download from my camera, so this segment is to be continued. . .Monday, our families went to the aquarium. David took Carter while I stayed home with Summer and Tilly. Carter LOVED it! I can't wait to go again and see the aquarium through the eyes of a 3 year old. Precious! Here are some more pictures of our long weekend with our friends! The Guests left early this morning headed back to Jonesboro. Happy early birthday, Beth! She will be celebrating a BIG one on Saturday! We hope they will come back real soon!

Sweet Summer - she has a birthday coming up in 10 days! Hopefully, Aunt Latrelle and Keri will see this picture. This outfit is one Keri wore when she was a little girl! Keri is now an upcoming 5th grader - yikes!
Little Miss Tilly. She missed out on a lot of the action because she goes to bed so early! Thankfully, she does not seem to mind!
