See who's 3!

John was the third and last birthday of the month. My little boy is three!! (He and Rachel share the same birthday.) He was a happy little boy who could hardly wait for us to sing happy birthday so he could blow out his candles. And while we sang he was picking the icing off of the cake. If you look closely you will notice potholes in the road.


He is so fun to watch open presents because he has such a good time ripping the paper. In fact I don't think he would care if there was nothing inside the paper as long as he could tear the paper all up. Once his presents were open he didn't want to play with his new toys he wanted "his" pile of paper, actually the pile of Rachel's wrapping paper to rip into shreds. Princesses must be more fun to shred than Hot Wheel cars.

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...
