Nashville to see Brian and Peace visit






















Mother and I went to Nashville July 8th to welcome Brian home from China. He was very tired and thin!!! It was great to see him. We spent the night in the Hyatt that Michael got us on priceline for $55/night. It was really fancy and nice. We shopped, ate, visited and generally enjoyed seeing all the Nashville Neals. Don't think that I didn't go.....here's proof!!

We celebrated Avery's 4th birthday at a restaurant and enjoyed eating and singing and opening presents. Here's Avery with Gmother's present, a doll with red hair.

We got home in time to prepare for the Peace visit. Lisa, Austin, and Krista arrived from Houston on Wednesday and will be leaving Monday morning. We've been having a very good time playing cards, board games, and swimming. Austin has learned to play Nurtz and loves it. Nonna and Austin partnered to come in 2nd at the Nurtz Olympics and beat Lisa. We did beat Stacey and Lisa in the first round and felt very victorious!!! We feel there a challenge game coming tonight!! We'll be at the church ice cream supper and will be playing games after we eat.

While the game was going on Krista, Suz, and Molly Beth played tea party and enjoyed eating fruit salad with whipped cream. Imagine what they looked like when they were finished.










Joan and Mark Stiles were kind enough to let us use their pool and the children have thoroughly enjoyed many hours of sun and water. The Neals joined us today and that was awesome!!!! Matthew won the prize for catching the most balls in a row while jumping from the diving board.

Austin and Krista are quite good at making up names of dives. Such as the fish run. And the Hannah Montana walk. Grandmother loves Austin to dive off the diving board for her.
