After a wonderful week of spring break, all of our eyes are turning toward summer. Our last co-op class meets this week with a celebration party next week. Daniel turns 18 on Wednesday (WOW!) AWANA and our online TPS classes end in May. Rachel and Joshua will have finals the first and second week of May. We’ve already enjoyed a day at the beach with friends.
If we can just finish strong, there is a great summer ahead of us.
After lunch today the boys went off to play frisbee while Sarah stayed home with Tim. I snuck off to Starbucks for a wonderful mentor visit. Good sharing time, encouraging words from God’s Word and a friend who treated me to coffee. That’s what I call a delightful Sunday afternoon.
While I was gone, Sarah spent most of her time working on a project. She’s been thoroughly bitten by the Pinterest bug and has been known to get lost in the myriad of pages and creative posts. This is what she created this afternoon. I LOVE it!!! What a great idea. 100+ Things to Do this Summer
Dear Sarah,
I like you. You are beautiful and fun and thoughtful. Your creativity is contagious. You are diligent and patient when you set your mind to a task, and you encourage me. You are helpful in so many ways – laughing, bringing music into our home, helping with the never ending chores, creating beautiful art projects, coming up with unique ideas for gifts and ways to love others, serving the family, and loving us when we’re not always loveable. Thank you for sharing your heart with me and telling me stories and not keeping secrets. Thank you for reading the blog and (almost) always leaving comments. Thank you for pointing me to Jesus and being an example of how to love Him. I LOVE your poster. Let’s do ALL of these 100+ things this summer (and more).
I love you – Mom
Project 365 – Day 102

Dear Sarah,
That is an amazing list! I love it! Tons of great ideas on it. Hope you get to do almost all of them!
Go to a wedding – who’s getting married? Eat ice cream for breakfast – I’m sure you can find some family who’ll love joining you in that! Wish I could snuggle cats with you. Zentangle – what’s that? Get a cool scar? – but that would mean getting hurt and bleeding and maybe stitches, which isn’t cool! So much life and fun and joy in this list; I hope you get all the good things done and revel in the moments of the doing! (And thanks for being willing to have your list shared; I may just copy some of these ideas if you don’t mind terribly.)
Some friends are getting married this summer! Joshua is the best man. Family lives in Hawaii. Can’t wait!
My favorite is Go to the Duckabush, call us when you are here!
How can you read her list?
Click on the picture – it should come up big.
Awww thanks you guys! And mom! I hope I’ll be able to do most of them…it would be awesome if i completed ALL of them but i won’t get my hopes up
Sarah is maturing into a beautiful young lady. NOW – this list is truly inspiring. Maybe we’ll just print out the picture and count the project as done. LOL
What an awesome idea! (And an awesome young lady!)
I think everyone should make a list like this. I loved that it included random, little things. Sarah, you should do everything on your list! My favorites were spending tons of time with Rachel, having an all-nighter, and getting a cool scar. That sounds great to me, too! Haha!
