Two Homecomings

Last month we celebrated not only one but two homecomings on the same weekend. Mackenzie attended her senior homecoming dance with her close group of friends.







Unfortunately, we had to bid Mackenzie farewell prior to her dance in order to attend the Kiefhaber homecoming in Stuart. My cousin, Shannon, who lives in California came home to have her son, Austin, baptized. We were so honored to be invited for the weekend of festivities.

Does this church look familiar? It is the same church that Andy and Shannon were married in five years ago.



After the baptism, we celebrated my Aunt Sharon's 60th birthday at a luncheon on the beach.

Senior Band Night

Last night Mackenzie was one of seventy eight seniors who were honored for their service and dedication to the GCHS band. Mackenzie marched on to the field and then joined us on the fifty yard line.



The four of us walked across the field hand-in-hand as the announcer read Mackenzie's high school accomplishments and her plans for college.

 

Along the way Mackenzie was bombarded by her fellow bass players.



Once we reached the home side Mackenzie was given a flower and a huge hug from her percussion instructor, Austin Gomez.



Mackenzie was also honored by her non-band friends as well. We heard her name being called from the student section and then saw a huge pink poster with her name on it.



Once the game started it was back to work for Mack but she was allowed to wear her tiara and sash.





Mackenzie and I both thought we might get a little emotional because it was senior night but we were all smiles. Yes, she will be graduating this year but it's only October and there are so so many more exciting events to look forward to this school year.
