Holly and Guy Zabka, our younger daughter and son-in-law, are delightful and talented young people. What oftentimes ends in disaster became a classic marriage after the soon-to-be mother-in-law introduced them. Guy comes from an excellent Christian and talented family, his father having written the original theme song for the long running television NBC program called "The Tonight Show." Guy's brother, Billy, was the mean kid in the movie "The Karate Kid." Holly was chosen to be a member of the varisty St. Charles High Dance line when she was a freshman and a cheerleader in her junior and senior years. Enrolling in Missouri State University, Holly was a member of the university's dance squad known as the Sugar Bears. Following graduation from MSU, Holly became a cheerleader for the St. Louis Rams. She grew up singing with One Accord and ended up loving Christian music.
Holly and Guy just had a beautiful baby girl. When Granddad says beautiful, we know it has to be true. If you have one brain, you cannot help but see the hand of God in the birthing process. How precious that is and to think that Jesus came into the world through the process is almost unbelievable. Almost unbelievable!
The Zabka's two sons, Jacob 6, and Houston 3, were at first a bit standoffish with their little sister, but now have warmed to the addition to their family. Those boys make me laugh and be grateful for their lives. I told Jacob I was going to arrange for him to go to a baseball camp next summer sponsored by the St. Louis Cardinals. He told me he already knew how to play baseball.
Sue and I have a little car for the grandkids to drive on the basketball court in our backyard. Houston says it is his car and grandpa says it is his. We tease each other as each says "my car."
I came home on Saturday to face some challenges which I will share at another time. Sue and I are indeed grateful for Jesus, family, and friends.
It's getting close to WAJ!!! Watch for announcements on the web site.
