Lawson Time Capsule

Nana had a great idea of doing a Lawson time capsule to be opened in July 2025, which is also when she and Big T will celebrate their 50th anniversary.  All the adults wrote letters to each child.  This was super emotional for me, and MANY tears were shed during my writing process.  In 2025, we will have someone entering each high school grade, and Luke will be entering the 7th grade!  It's the year Jake will be 16 and have his license, and Cohen will be choosing a college.  I'm tearing up even now just thinking about it.  My sons, and my nephew and nieces mean so much to me.  It's a true gift from God to see them growing physically, but also emotionally, mentally and spiritually.  Already, I love seeing their personalities and gifts shine.  OK, enough mushy stuff, let's get to the pics.  The boys helped Big T dig the hole... 

 Nana read Max Lucado's "You are Special" as part of our time capsule "ceremony"...

 Each family member chose something to put inside to represent themselves in 2013.  We each shared what our object was and put it in the capsule.  Here are the kids filling it up...

 Then came time to bury it...

 Everyone contributed to putting the dirt back on top...

 Each child also made a stepping stone with their handprint on it that will mark the special spot.  It was definitely a fun activity to do together, and it will be so exciting to dig it up and see how far we've all come in 12 years!
