We celebrate Family Day on October 1 each year. This day marks the anniversary when we came home with Macy and were finally a family of 6. It's hard to believe that it's been three years! WOW! We celebrated by getting pizza and taking it to the park to eat. We played and then headed to the grocery store to buy toppings for our homemade ice cream sundaes. That's right you can't "Grow Up Sprecher" and not love ice cream! Before we enjoyed our sundaes we enjoyed a Mongolian tradition of sharing milk. We pass around a bowl of milk wrapped in a blue scarf and each of us takes a drink. In Mongolian culture white represents purity, happiness and frankness. The blue scarf or khadag is a blue ceremonial scarf symbolizing the bestowing of blessings and good-luck wishes upon those who receive it.
