Senior pictures

Yes, we did do the whole professional picture package, and they were very nice, because the subject, Kristi, is beautiful. But, they did not capture who Kristi is. Below are the pictures that did. Kristi is a Gills Rock, fisherman’s daughter and so her pictures by the shed and dock fit her so well. She may leave Gills Rock, but chances are, that her heart will always have a special place for Gills Rock and all that is a part of the docks and fishing.
The other picture was her idea as well. A photo at our church, with the piano. This is our favorite. Although she rarely plays at church now, she will do more in the future! She loves playing, especially beautiful classical music and music from Pride and Prejudice and other favorite songs. We often go to sleep at night to her playing something peaceful and lovely on the piano.
It is so hard to believe that her home education is drawing to a close as far as formal studies, the time has flown by so fast. I always have this mixed feeling at graduations, the feeling of excitement at how well our children have done with school and life, and serving the Lord, and, this sense of not having done enough as their teacher. Trust me, it is a personal issue! No one education can teach all, and although there has been much taught in our home, and they are very well-rounded, I always wish they would have learned more. That is, because I am such a learner and I am not done and have not accomplished all I want to learn in life. Good grief, these teens are only 18 and have lots of years left, Lord willing, to learn. See what I mean? It is me. And it is me knowing I will miss her terribly. I have done this three other times so I know how it works, and the good news is; I will live!
