Puke and Poop

-
Our house is an infirmiry these days. It began with Sarah on Saturday night then spread to Mom, John, Rachel, Elizabeth and even Paul. Needless to say everyone is home today.  We are creating a new saying,
 "The family that pukes and poops together stay together!" :)


As I was up nearly every 20 minutes with some kiddo last night I began to make a list in my mind, a list of all the things I am grateful for:
*  indoor plumbing *  toilets * washing machines * dryers * plastic bowels * towels (lots of towels) *  disposable diapers * baby wipes * bendy straws * sippy cups with lids for the bendy straws * TV * DVD player * DVDs * couch bid enough for all the sick kids * Resolve spot carpet cleaner  * Glade carpet & room odor eliminator * scented candles * plastic grocery bags * a wet wash cloth on your forehead after you throw up * a husband who is willing to do laundry, clean up throwup and change millions of diapers * a husband who can easily take a day off work * prayer * priesthood blessings *

I'm sure there are many more things to add to my list but I'm most grateful that we live in the time and location of the world we do so I can be grateful for all the things above!

I hope you all feel better soon! I am glad we are not the only ones that use plastic bowls for puking!

Get Well!

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...
