Happy 20th Birthday to my son, Andy!

It's hard to believe that it was 20 years ago today that I gave birth to my "baby". Although he'll always be our baby in a sense, it is obvious that he is no longer a baby. I miss our time of raising him, but am so thankful for all the decisions he's made that have molded him into the wonderful and godly man that he is today! Here are a couple of pictures I borrowed from his Facebook.



I took the day off tomorrow and if the Lord wills, we plan to go and visit him in Murfreesboro to celebrate his special day and take him out for dinner and maybe a movie. I've never seen the apartment that he's living in this school year and am really looking forward to checking it all out, but mostly just to spend some time with him.

  I feel like a heathen today...calling off Worship for snow...;)
  
  It is beautiful...I cried when I saw it as did Hannah...we made homemade cocoa and they spent the morning outside. Hannah took a ton of pictures!

  I can't believe that Andy has been twenty. It's unbelievable...

  I like Fall the best out of all cause it's the least extreme in temperature changes. :P

  I noticed that Andy is growing like some kind of beard or something!

  We should do an recipe exchange and give each other recipes or something. What do you think?

  Hi, Cara, this is Katy Jones in Kerrville, Texas. :) Is this the same young man who once played a flute in my living room? How are you, and your folks?

  Alittle sickness and a broken air conditioning don't undo me. Today my children saw to the complete undoing of their mother. It's like they got together and planned the attack! By the end of the night we were all crying. Maleia has decided that obeying isn't as cool as it used to be. She just decided this today! Of all the weekends she picked this weekend while daddy wasn't home. She's a smart cookie! Andy looks so grown up. He's a cutie! I'm sure he's got the girls chasing after him!

  Thanks for your sweet comment. Today was another day of firsts for Maleia. Throwing her fork across the room at lunch and then laughing like CRAZY. She was laughing so hard I had to remind her to take a breath. She did this a couple times. Discipline didn't really seem to matter to her today. She was like this when we first start to discipline her. I was scared then and I will admit I'm alittle scared now! Noelani never did this. Yes was yes and No was no and she listened. Maleia wants to test it and see if you really mean it. My mom always told me I'd get a child like me. Maleia is that child!!!!

  You know Maleia loves to pray and her favorite is to call my dad and mom and have them pray for her food. She just cracks up when they start praying. Since she wants a detailed prayer of everything on her plate they will ask me exactly what she is eating so they don't forget anything. Sometimes my mom will say "I can't remember all of those things!" but she does her best anyway. They both just adore my mom and dad so much. I love that they do. I've never had that with any of my grandparents and so I always wanted that for my children.
