It's official. Holly is 4 today. She is having a wonderful day. We went for photos this morning in a new dress and shoes. We had lunch at Rudy's with Daddy. And now she has a friend over and they are playing with multiple colors of play-doh. The two girls have already put on a puppet show, played a few games and raced cars. I am baking Holly a cake and we will have a couple of gifts tonight. The big party is on Saturday and it will be incredible. Holly's cousins are coming to town and we could not be more excited about that. Holly is a really neat 4 year old. She loves to sing and probably knows 100 or more songs many of which are praise and worship songs. There is nothing sweeter to my ears than listening to my baby girl sing about Jesus and how He loves her. I pray she comes to truly believe that one day. Holly also loves to read. Her daddy has been reading a story book to her everynight that was a book given to him when he was 6 back in 1966. Wow. The stories are longer and more detailed than Holly's other books and she begs to hear them every night. It's fun. Finally, Holly is a great swimmer. This summer she has learned to come up for a breath which has enabled her to swim some distance and jump off the diving board and swim to the end of the pool. We are very proud of Holly. For those who have prayed for me during my illness, THANK YOU! I am much better. Shingles is no fun so I don't recommend it. More later, e
