New Couch

-
We finally bought a new couch. A chocolate brown, microfiber sectional. We love it!!

I love it because we are no longer squished when we sit to enjoy a movie together as a family. No longer do we have to pull over a kitchen chair when company comes over. And no longer is someone forced to sit on the hard floor if they don't want to.

Elizabeth & Rachel love it because now there is room on the couch for all of their toys, books and blankets as well as people. They don't have to hear me tell them that "a couch is not a toy box."

John loves it because it is bouncy and fun to jump on (Mom doesn't love that).

I don't think Sarah likes it. The seat cushions are higher than our old one,s o it is harder for her to get on and off, but I'm sure she will learn.

Paul likes it that on each end there is a built in recliner.

Come on over and try it out!

  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...
