Savoring the last days of summer slow

We're preparing for a new school year in our neck-of-the-woods!

School curriculum has been chosen, purchased, delivered, and filed.

High school transcripts have been mapped and printed out.

Learning clothes have been tried on, fitted, shortened, and ironed.
Daily volleyball practice has begun.

We've met the new co-op supervisor.
Snack and menu management for busy days has been organized.

Earlier bedtimes have commenced, and our calendars are filling up.

We have several big ministry projects at our church coming up in several weeks
that we are busy preparing for as well!

But before the busiest days swallow us up,

we are intentionally savoring the last days of summer together.

Dad doesn't usually get to join the teenagers on church youth activities,

but he was able to work out this special evening

with their very favorite local baseball team!!!
