A Few Hours of Peace and Quite

-
We have started into a new routine this week, Mommy gets a few hours of peace and quiet during the week.  You may ask, how am I managing that?  Well, it is really quite simple . . . Sarah has started preschool!


And the very best part is that she loves it!  After the first day, when we got and and were about to eat lunch she offered to bless the food.  In her prayer she said, "Thank you I go to preschool, bless that I can go again."  She was so proud to show me what she had made that day and excited to tell me everything that they did.

After dropping her off that first morning, I headed to a doctor's appointment, by myself!  Then headed home to a QUIET house.  I sort of felt lost with out a kiddo tagging along to the doctor and very lost with a quiet house.  I wasn't sure what to do first . . . get some chores done around the house or do what I want to do?  I settled on a combo of both.  Wow three hours to myself is like a gift from heaven.  And I will have this gift two mornings a week! 

I'm beginning to wonder what were we thinking in having another baby?  So close to daily freedom and I'm about to start all over. :(  Oh well, I will enjoy "my time" while it lasts (about 5 more months) because it is going to be another five years before I experience this gift again. :)

When I was pregnant with Lucy we were at the park with the kids and we had just had a picnic and the kids were finished eating and playing on the play ground. Chris and I were sitting at the picnic table visiting and enjoying a conversation without all the kids. I told him that we were about to start all over... all of our kids were old enough to play by without too much adult supervision. Kate was potty trained and more independent. And here we were about to have our lives turned upside down again. But we are so glad that our life was turned upside down, I cannot imagine what life would be without little Lucy! Enjoy your alone time! Anticipate your sweet little baby! When do you find out the gender?

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...
