Celebrations and Blessing** Part TWO

This was the summer of parties...

My mom's (Lola) 75th Birthday Party
in May
Morgan home to share the moment...
and make her wonderful announcement...

(keep reading...)

Hope all of my mom's wishes come true.

Was a wonderful day with family and friends...

and then Michael and Jessica and the girls
surprised us by joining the party...

In August we celebrated Ron's mom (Rhonda)
82nd Birthday

She didn't want a party on her 80th--
so we waited and celebrated this year!

Mother and two of her sons

Lots of family and friends--it was a great day!

I love my mother-in-law
I want to travel and
be just like her when I grow up!

The end of August
we celebrated Morgan's news of
a baby girl arriving in January and
with Jessica's help we threw her a baby shower--

This is the baby my mother drew that I
used in Morgan's nursery in Japan...
if you look hard at the photos you can see it!

We had fun decorating and spending time together

With grandma Rhonda's help we even finished a quilt
while Morgan was home

fun games and time to talk

here's another photo of the quilt

Mother and daughter...
so hard to believe my "baby" is having a baby!

Good friends of Morgan's
we love you Natalie, Joanna and Janell and all
the rest that couldn't come, but sent their love.

We celebrate everyday that we
get to be part of your lives.
