Fun With Our Special Visitor

-
Last month we had a very special visitor come to our house . . . Grandma Sue!  The kids were so excited to have Grandma come and visit.  I think one of the reasons they so looked forward to her coming to visit is because she is a Grandma who is still a kid at heart.  She loves to get down on the floor with them and their collection of Strawberry Shortcake dolls, Littlest Pet Shops, Lalaloopsy's, etc. and delve into the pretend world.  She loves to help them get all dress-up in dress-up clothes and create "plays".  She loves to teach them to do crafts and make treats.  And she loves to be outdoors with them looking for worms and making Fairy beds.

I wish I had pictures of all of the fun things we did with Grandma Sue while she came to visit but these days I'm not so good at remembering to keep my camera handy.

Sue has spent priceless time with all you guys. She really is a great woman that I so admire. I remember the first time I met her, she wanted to include me with the Mother/Daughter time to go see the wedding dress on Center Street in Provo and check out the White Willow reception center.

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...
