Jill's Wedding/Family Reunion

Last weekend we drove up to Atlanta for our annual family reunion and Jill's wedding.  We left early Friday morning at spent all day Friday by the pool.  Family arrived throughout the day, and it was great to see everyone again!  Avery had a blast spending the day in her bathing suit, and was worn out by bed time.

Saturday morning everyone was running last minute errands before the wedding.  Mom, Bonnie, and I ran to Target to pick up a few things, and ended up at the Old Navy next door shopping their HUGE sale!  Thanks for all the great clothes mom, Avery is adorable in them!  :) After nap time came Jill's wedding.  The ceremony was beautiful, and of course I cried...no surprise there!  Jill and Greg make such a great couple, here are some pictures from the night.

Sunday morning everyone went over to the Moore's new home on the Chattahoochee River.  The house is gorgeous and fit everyone comfortably.  We had a small church service and followed it with a surprise party for my grandpa's 80th birthday!  He was shocked, and it meant a lot for everyone to say thanks for all he's done.  We spent the afternoon enjoying the river.  Here's some pictures from the day:

We drove home after dinner Sunday, and got in around midnight.  It took us (at least Avery and I) a couple days to recuperate from the trip.  But we're back up and running now, and looking forward to another wedding weekend.  This weekend Holly and Josh say "I Do".  We're all in the wedding, including Avery as the flower girl.  We can't wait!  More on that next week. :)

***I can't take credit for a single picture in this post!  As most of you know I am terrible about taking pictures, so I've collected all that I can from other family members.  Thanks to you all for sharing!  :)  I'll be getting my dad's soon, and I might have a few others to post, as he tends to get great shots of Avery!


P.S. I've been feeling the baby move a lot the last two days!  YAY!  Only 5 more days until I can say boy or girl!

It's ok! I think I'm almost done with the favors.... I've done about 60 something or 70 something - they're a breeze! ;) Still trying to figure out the program though...that's the tricky one! Hopefully I'll have them printed by Monday though so we can get them put together and then I'll be feeling a lot better! How's Avery feeling? I'll talk to you soon :) love ya!
