If you ask Holman (or any of his siblings) to describe himself he would say "I have the strength of seven men." It's a family joke but one rooted in some truth. We got a text from him Monday morning that asked the family to pray for two people that got into a serious car accident. He said that he and his missionary companion came upon an accident soon after it happened. They were able to pull a woman from the wreckage and held the car up for a man that was pinned. They held that car up for an hour and a half. He said finally my strength of seven men has come in handy! This brought back memories of the time my kids got in a car accident and one of the first people on the scene was a nurse followed by a mom who had a kid in the car who was icing their knee who willing gave their ice and first aid. Bad things will happen but it is the little things that let us know we are not alone. A new motto that I am trying to live by is having faith in my savior by trying to be "confident in His care and secure in His hands." Grateful for the seen and unseen angels that are around us. What a privilege that we as humans can be that for someone too. Sorry Holman it was too good of a story not to share.

1st day of school!
Only two kids at home for a first day of school pictures, how did this happen?! So grateful to have these two and even more grateful they are so close. Adrian is going into her last year of middle school at Hermosa Montessori. Parkin is a junior at Sabino High School. I'm at my second year of kindergarten at Leman, so far it is a terrific class. Only 17 kids with no behavioral issues. A teacher's dream.
