The members of the Duggar family are standing by each other through the good times and the bad, and they have rallied around each other for support since Josh Duggar's molestation scandal came to light on May 21. Last week, one of the older Duggar children, Jana, 25, expressed her love for the family by praising her mother Michelle on social media. 

On Thursday, June 11, Jana posted a picture of her and Michelle on the family's official Facebook page and wrote, "Love spending time with this sweet lady. So thankful to have her as a role model, a friend, and a mom! Always love my time with her." 

The post got more than 70,000 likes and a variety of comments on the Duggar Family Official Facebook page. It was the first time that Jana went on social media since the scandal. Her last post on her official Facebook page was on May 19, wherein she shared a photo of herself carrying her nephew Israel, Jill's son. Last week, her sisters Jessa and Jill posted new pictures on their respective Instagram pages after maintaining their social media silence for almost two weeks. Jessa posted a 19-week sonogram, while Jill uploaded new photos of her two-month old son. 

Meanwhile, more pictures have been posted on the family's Facebook page showing the family bonding over the weekend.

Eight photos featuring the younger Duggar children were uploaded on June 14 and captioned, "What fun we can have in one day! Formal high tea party and a great creature hunt (Turtles and crawdads found!). What a perfectly wonderful Saturday spent with these kiddos!"
