Abby playing a game she made up with Holly. It's the "stand on Holly and balance on one leg and then fall into her" game!
We met Holly thru The Bible House. She always worked really hard and quickly became a key part of our staff. After several years, I had Jack and she started to babysit him when he was around one. She would also house/cat sit for us and we started to rely on her a lot, not only for work stuff but in our personal lives as well.
After we had Abby, Holly took on the both of them and did great! We can trust her for overnight visits and spur of the moment visits like the most recent one this week. She saved me! I called her Monday afternoon and asked if she could watch the kids that night or the following. She quickly replied with "how about tonight?!" Eric and I got a much needed date night on the fly!
Also, both of the kids were in Holly and Eric's wedding in October 2007. It was such an honor to have them be a part of their special day. A day we will all never forget. Two adorable kids, dressed all spiffy and not one step taken down the aisle. ugh. I had to eventually carry Abby and hold Jack's hand just to make it happen. Not quite expected but necessary for all that work to be for something!
Lil Abby and I with the beautiful bride!
We LOVE Holly! Our kids LOVE Holly! She's the bestest babysitter anyone could ask for :)
Thank you Holly for taking such good care of our kids but mostly thank you for loving them.
