Today is my oldest girl’s birthday. I dedicate this especially for her to mark the day that she becomes a t-e-e-n-a-g-e-r. And most of us can just about remember what that's like.You will soon be eighteen
My oldest girl
Our daughter and heir
My pride and joy
So before you go through
The teenage gate
I will take the chance
To celebrate
The fun we have had
And the years gone by
The bond we have
And the family tie
And as you enters
Your teenage years
You know I’ll be there
Through your hopes and fears
So this is for you,
A shout from your dad
Enjoy being a teenager
There is fun to be had.
Side by side
Or miles apart,
A daughter like you,
Is always close to the heart.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, my dear! DREAM...EXPLORE...AND DISCOVER!!

hi there
I stumbled onto your blog after seeing a comment on Shalet's blog "peculiar momma". I could tell from your comments that you live in the pacific NW...(just as I do)...and I am always interested to see what others in my area are up to! The funny thing is I have just come home from a meeting with the principal at my kids school where I told her that we have decided to homeschool our kids. The principal is a very nice lady but she cautioned me against HS...all the usual things came up...socialisation, curriculum etc and so I left the meeting feeling like my husband and I are ruining our kids futures. And then to happen upon your blog and read some of your uplifting HS experiences makes me sure we are doing the right thing. Thanks for the inspiration!

Happy birthday to your daughter
