Farewell from the Neighbors

June 24, 2014
Our neighbors wanted to have dinner with us one last time.  We played games on their XBox, visited and enjoyed some really good food.

Yu helping the boys get things set up for the boys.

Bradley and Daniel trying their hand at bowling.

Dad, Nathan and Eliza watching the bowling match.

They were pretty good.

A look at the spread.  It was really good!

Eliza just wanted strawberries.

Yu and Haili, our hosts.

Nathan had fun terrorizing the house.


He even found some new foot wear.

Nathan and Dad enjoying some dessert.

After eating the adults joined in on the XBox games.  Margaret and I played volleyball.
I also went a round of boxing with Eliza.  The boys couldn't believe I would "beat" my own child.  :0)  It was a close round.  We also did some track and field games.  Dad was pretty good and the hurdles.  We have really  enjoyed living by such great neighbors.  We will miss you all!

Warburton's Pool

June 24, 2014
Warburton's moved to NC to start residency the same time we did.  They are in the 6 year program instead of the 4 year, so they have two more years in NC.  We have really enjoyed getting to know them.  We joined them for one last swim in their pool before our move.

We took our water guns with us to the pool.  The kids got pretty wild at times.
Nathan and Dad are on the prowl.

Bradley looking for his next victim.

We brought our new jet to brake it in at the pool.
Eliza giving Catherine instructions on the proper way to ride.

Catherine  was a natural.

Eliza is quite a character.  We just love this girl.

What's not to love?!

Nathan loves to jump from the side of the pool to anyone willing to catch him.

Ready for take off.

Smooth sailing...

or maybe not.  :0)


Catherine and Eliza, just a little girl talk.

We enjoyed swimming and visiting.  Good luck with your last two years!
