A Right of Passage . . .

-
I love Saturday mornings at our house because it is my day to sleep in!!! Ok, I only sleep 'til 7:30 or 8:00 am but that is heaven after a week long of 5:30 or 6:00 am.  Paul and the kids have started a tradition while Mom sleeps in . . . they get up, watch Saturday morning cartoons (really just a movie of choice) and make "Breakfast Cake".  It is great because by the time I wake up the breakfast cake is all done and ready to eat.

Last Saturday I was sitting at the table eating my piece of cake when John comes over and asks for a bite.  As I was about to place a bite in his mouth I noticed something odd, one of his nostrils was pink.  I put the fork down, grabbed  a hold of his little chin and tilted his head back to get a better look.  He had stuck a little pink bead up his nose. Gross!!  As I tried to get it out, without making it go farther up, I had visions of a trip to the ER.  Luckily my nice Saturday morning was not ruined by a pink bead, we got it out.


If there were a list of events entitled "The Rights of Passage of Motherhood"  I believe this would be on there.  Lets just hope we don't get to check off, "putting something in your ear".

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...
