interesting thing happened to sadie and abe. i have been sending them on the school bus in the morning for the last week. kind of a trial run to see how they like it. their school is twenty minutes away and i have been taking them but since there are only four other kids that ride the bus in the morning and they added a stop for us right outside our door, we thought we would give it a try. abe had a not so great experience when he rode the bus in ogden (a kid would crawl under the seat and steal his shoes so he had to ride with his feet up) and was a little hesitant. so anyway, they were on the corner across the street on friday waiting for the bus, and a car with no driver came speeding down the hill. sadie said she heard a noise and turned around just in time to see the speeding car go up the opposite curb and plow over a tree and crash into a sign. i went and looked at the poor tree and broken sign and I am so grateful the car happened to crash into that side of the street instead of the other side where sadie and abe were standing. i don't think they would have had time to see the car, register what what was happening, and move. i feel like they were watched over and protected and consider this our own little miracle for the week.
