Cicadas. Mason spotted one this morning hatching from it's shell. Would I have noticed? No, I was weeding, swatting mosquitoes and thinking of the list in my head. But Mason made me stop and watch. I know it's just an insect. My point of the story is Mason had me stop at the cicada's transformation. Think about it, it's a major deal to the cicada-wings! And with only a short time to enjoy those wings. It's those little things that we go through our day and don't even notice. Lately I have been feeling like a giant sloth, and then the minute I start racing around like the Energizer bunny I lose track of what is really important. Thank you Mason I enjoyed watching the cicada. You teach me something everyday.

Beautifully said, Andria. You and Eddie inspire me. Your entire family does.
Hi Andria ~ I stopped by CVS to check out that swallowing spray. Here is the web site: www.pillglide.com
The site lists the ingredients. It would be so awesome if Mason could use it and it made a difference. It only costs $5.99.
I'm thinking about you all the time and admiring your strength.
Love, Rhonda
Andria,
You remind me of one of my favorite quotes:
How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives."

It's the balance between reaching the goals we set, and seeing the world around us. You are doing such a good job.

Andria, you and Mason are teaching us all something new everyday - not to give up, keep strong and hold on to your faith. And most importantly, you are teaching us all that we need to enjoy these moments like smiles, cicadas, banana splits and splashes. You both are the strongest people I know and I am so very proud of you both. Hang in there and know what a great parent you are to your children.
It's those Cicada moments you'll always remember. Live in the moment
