Finished Book

Sarah and I have been doing stories back and forth for a few years. We make them up and talk about them while in the car or shopping. It's really a lot of fun. She also is working on her own books and stories.

I'm quite proud of her for finishing one of her stories. It's actually quite good and although my family has had some critical comments after reading, to help her improve it, I am pleased at her talent.

Saturday I sat reading her last revision and I was so pleased to find myself laughing out loud on several parts, because her humor was priceless. I'm also thrilled to see her use her creativity, which I feel is very important to grow. She is very creative and seeing her do this for fun and on the side is fabulous. Her friends love her stories and they beg her for more. To me what greater flattery is a friend begging for more of what you create, it really makes you feel good inside.

I plan to take a yoga class and I asked her to take it with me because she too has wanted to do yoga, it's an interest for both of us. She found out there is a yoga class after school starting in October so she signed up. I'm thrilled she took the initiative to do it on her own!

High School

Sarah has started High School!

It looks like it's going to be a busy year for both of us. She's thrilled that several of her friends are attending the same school and I'm thrilled also to see her blossom this year already. Of course she's getting bold and freaking me out!!! But it's expected, she's almost 15.

Her classes are just like she wanted and she has our driving to school all planned out. She's waking up with less difficulty this year and I'm blessed! We shall see how the sleeping pattern is like in a month when the newness wears off. hehe
