The Above Photo Is Dedicated To All Parents With Teenage Daughters!

It's ok - I get this look often - VERY Often! Our precious daughter Libby, Class of 2008 and freshman at Maryville College this fall with a full-four year paid scholarship! Congratulation Libby and God's speed this coming year and beyond!

FROM AN INDIVIDUAL WHO SAW THIS PICTURE AND EMAILED US LAST FALL:

I have just discovered Google Images and found your site under ‘families’ I see your last image – “The above picture is in honor of all parents who have teenagers, especially teen-age daughters. I get that look often” I celebrate the fact that you are still looking at each other and smiling the smile that says, “life is OK”

Having family is one thing. Having good family is a joy. We did not have teens. We celebrated their move from childhood at about 13 into ‘young adulthood’ That way they were welcomed into responsibility and not allowed the loop hole of ‘being a teen’ It worked. We still had to work on it too. But it worked because the attitude that went with it was counter to the attitude our society in NZ expected of teenagers.

Hug them heaps no matter their age.

Thanks for the good photos.
Greetings to the Moms, too.  They are absent from the photos but not the pictures.
Rich Blessings, Martin

Despite the face above- she is still our "LIBBO" and we're very proud of her!
