Jan. 21, 2006 - Adventures with my Daughter

My youngest daughter is 11 and since she is my last child, the only "kid" in the family, and has a personality similar to mine, we have the best of fun. 

We seem to always be "into something"  whether it's painting, sewing, taking photos, reading, blogging, we're always together.  I am having the best time with my last child and know God sent her to me to be an extra special blessing, especially true as my others have left the nest! 

This past month was full of adventures.  We did a mother daughter retreat with her best friend and her mom.  We went to a nice hotel for two days and one night.  During the day we listened to the tapes by Dennis and Barbara Rainey entitled Passport to Purity  published by Family Life Publishing, You can order it from www.familylife.com   The seminar is aimed at junior high age children.  The address some truly significant topics on life's most intimate issues  It is designed to be used one on one with your child.  (If the child is a male, it would be much better if Dad could take him instead of the mom.)  During the getaway, my daughter and I spent time alone, listening to the tapes and then for our meals, we got together with our friends.  During both days, there is time allowed for an activity of your choosing. Rachel wanted to go to the fabric store and then to the tailor to make some of her personal designs that have been long on paper into a reality. 

See photos below. 

We had a wonderful time and our relationship was strengthened tremendously.  I highly reccomend this course for your preteen!!

Your get-a-way sounds great. I've been wanting to do that with Jana (13). I wish we could have done it together. Vision Forum has some great resources for girls as well. They have a CD series called Victory for Daughters. Home-school girls who have graduated are speaking on it. It's excellent!

Jan. 28, 2006 - Love it too!

My daughter and I went to a dude ranch in south texas for a weekend when we did the Passport to Purity weekend. We both had the greatest time, and still talk about it all of the time. She will still, two years later, bring up some of the things that she learned in the lesssons, I think it's an awesome thing for anyone to do! You are the only person that I "know" who has done it also.

Cool!
