One of my favorite people in the world has a daughter who turned one a few months ago. I asked him what she might like for Christmas, and he said that a homemade card with a bird or a lion on it would be something that she would really enjoy.I told Eli 11.4 about this, and he said he'd be happy to make a drawing for her. His schedule was so busy, though, that it didn't happen before Christmas. Last night, he said that he would sit down today and do the drawing so that our friend's daughter would have it by Friday.
