We were at a cabin with some friends of ours. Holly was playing on a table and Rob and I were sitting near the campfire talking. I kept checking on Holly just because I do that. I would listen over my shoulder to make sure she was o.k. While I was checking Holly slipped off the table top and landed on her bottom on the bench. I expected her to start crying but she looked stunned and then said "whoa, that was awesome!"
She also went Kayaking with Rob and not with me because "Daddy goes faster".
The other day Rob took Holly to church. I stayed home with Sam because he was hacking up a lung. During sacrament meeting Holly wrote down her testimony and asked Rob if she could go up and say it. Rob took her hand but halfway up to the pulpit Holly hesitated and then turned around and sat down. Rob of course had to keep going. But later on in the meeting Holly passed a note that said "I have confidence back". She got up and bore the testimony she wrote down. She wrote that Jesus taught people to be nice and that she wanted to follow Him. She also wrote "I want to open my life". We are not sure what that means. Rob thinks it is a "new age" testimony. Anyway, I am so glad she got up the courage to go again.

Her testimony was so sweet! :) What a courageous daughter you have. And, you know, I guess these days they HAVE to be more of everything than we were--since the world is pushing harder on them now.

Nice try. She TOTALLY got that from you. Sure, you were never one to roar. But your courage to quietly stand up for right, to make right choices, strengthened others (me) in their resolve to do the same.
I love her. I love that she is so much like you. (You'd have wanted to go faster too...)
Sad about Sam. At least he's got an excuse - it's cold there. My three are sick because it's perfectly warm and balmy outside. Go figure.
