Summer {2011} To-Do List

Sorry I haven't been around a whole lot lately. Life gets busy with 4 children of course, but we're also in the midst of a major move. I suppose trying to find my desk has been another reason I haven't blogged much. Just so much to do.

Summer is here so I sat down with my children to make a list of all that we wanted to do, see, accomplish and read, etc. while we're on vacation from school. We ended up making some goals as a family as well as individually - however big or little they may be.

With this summer being WAY busy with our vacation back home coming up to see relatives and friends - as well as our BIG move, we're going to see just how much of these things we can knock off our list. And I'm looking SO forward to moving and being done fixing up our home to rent it out. John has been busy nonstop it seems and I'd really like to see my husband again! Vacation and relaxation is starting in a week and I can hardly wait!! :)

So here's what we plan to do this summer:

1.) Move to another home!
