Sarah's First Birthday

-
Well, I've joined the world of blogging and we'll see how it goes, if I can figure this all out. The first post is about a first that just happened at our house, Sarah's first birthday.

She turned 1 last Thursday, where did all the time go? A year ago we were holding a cudley not so little newborn and now we chase after a crawling, walking, climbing toddler. We have enjoyed having Sarah as part of our family and enjoyed celebrating with her. Her birthday was simple cake and presents. On Wednesday we tried to practice blowing out her candles but all she wanted to do was touch the flame. When it came time to blow out that candle on the cake she just stared at it, in amazement. So we had to help her blow out the candle.


This was her cake to enjoy and destroy. Her favorite part was the frosting.

And by the time she was thru she was ready for a bath. How fun to be one and be allowed to eat cake with your hands and not care that it is all over your face, lap, sleeves and even in the hair.

The Milestones That Bring Us Together

  Grateful for milestones that bring family together...Last Saturday my brothers and I gathered to celebrate our Dad's 80th birthday!!! After 80 years on earth my Dad's body continues to be strong (mostly) while his memory continues to fade. For a man who is a planner and organizer he struggles to live in the moment and be content...I guess when you don't have current memories to reflect on, you dream and imagine your future. Inspite of his current reality we enjoyed a few hours celebrating together, laughing, sharing and watching him relive his glory days with near clarity. Watching him watch himself play football and talk and share about the players and the plays brought out part of my Dad that has been hidden for years!

  There are moments in life when you realize just how blessed you are... celebrating my mom's 80th birthday recently was one of those moments!! Over the years we have moved away from one another, haven't always stayed in close contact with everyone but being together I felt the love that comes from being family! To my mom family is everything and it is her love for us individually that radiates and unites those around her! My mom is a little energizer bunny sharing, serving, living, loving, experiencing, adventureing and enjoying every moment of every day! She definitely is not 80 years old but 80 years loved!!! And on her way to many more!! From three awesome Andruski kids... ...to this beautiful bunch... ... combined 17 years ago with the Browns makes for a wonderful group of great people to love one special lady! A highlight of celebrating my mom was to spend time in the temple with her and many of her posterity...it was a very special family sealing session (three actual...
