Nene Comes to Birmingham

Friday afternoon, Nene arrived for a much anticipated long weekend visit.  We all met out for dinner, which is always a good time.

Saturday, Nene took our three kids shopping in the morning, and came home with a new puzzle, which they immediately started.  Then that afternoon, we all went to Brian's house to hang out and watch football.  It was a long and fun day!  The kids swam, played, and we snacked on munchies.


Sunday, Steve left early for a work hunting trip, but the kids, Nene and I hit church.  Then we rushed home to eat a quick lunch before heading out to Hoover to watch Lucy during one of her gymnastics meets.  It was our first time watching her perform, and she did great!  She was performing against much older children, but held her own.  We watched her do beam, floor and vault, but missed her favorite....the bars.  Thankfully, Nene stayed and watched her place!


We had to race to the baseball fields for Walker's game, and Nene and Uncle Brian made the last inning.  Walker was thrilled to see them, even if it was just for a short bit.


Nene had originally come in town to watch Lucy on Saturday, and Preston play in a football game Tuesday night, but since he was out due to his collar bone break....we had extra down time.  She did make an effort to have lunch with both Preston and Walker before she returned (which they loved), and then we celebrated Steve's birthday without him at his favorite place drinking his favorite margarita, Taco Mama!!

Fun, but always too short of a visit.  We all will look forward to her trip back down in December.

Happy Birthday Steve!
