Well, you may be wondering what we've been up to since celebrating Mackenzie's birthday two weeks ago... the answer is attending more showers and family gatherings than I can keep track of! My sister is getting married in less than a month (!!!!!!) and she had three showers three weekends in a row!!! Then, after the showers were finished, my Mommom and Poppop celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with a beautiful reception given by their three daughters. It's been a very busy month for the Moon family! Here are some pictures from the three showers and the 50th anniversary party.
Andrew honored Amy at the family shower on Sept. 7th. He did a wonderful job. I also enjoyed hearing both of the mom's share with their families how God has answered their prayers in giving their children godly spouses. Mrs. Di honored Amy and shared why she loves her so much and then my mom honored Andrew and shared why she is so grateful he is the one God picked for Amy! They were so cute with their glasses perched on the end of their noses passing the tissues back and forth!
Amy modeling the beautiful hat our cousin Kristie made for her.
Then the next weekend, Amy was kidnapped by Jenna, Janet, and Emily and taken to her friend shower. They made her wear this getup and they talked in ridiculous accents the entire time!
She was quite surprised! She had no idea where they had taken her! It was a great idea to have it at Jamie's new house! All the jr. high, sr. high, and college age were there and we packed out the house! I've never laughed so much at a shower either... it was so much fun!
Here are all the bridesmaids that were there!
Then the following weekend we got to surprise Amy with a church shower at Jeff and Angie's house! It was so pretty with an India theme and there was SO much food thanks to so many willing hands in our church! This was a neat shower because most of the ladies that were there were there because they had watched Amy and Andrew grow up!
Here's Mommom and Poppop at their party! They are still SO happy together!
Cutting their cake! They used their orginal cake topper!
Sharing a kiss after the cake!
They danced together for us! They are really good at it!
This is kinda dark, but it's hard to get this many people in one shot! I think it's incredible how two people in love 50 years ago could start all this!! Three daughters, 3 son-in-laws, 18 grand kids (including the new additions from marriages), and 1 1/2 great grand kids (that would be Mackenzie and the one in the oven!) God is so good!! Andy sang "How Great Thou Art" and it's what echoed throughout this whole day!

Mackenzie and I are off to FL to visit Jake's parents this weekend, so we'll have many more pictures to post when we get back!
