Verity Mom - Blog - APPLICANT #24: Holly Sanders

Here is Holly 's current situation:

"He passed the penny! My 13 month old son swallowed a penny, or should I say gagged, choked, and then swallowed a penny. When the emergency room technician needed him to lay still for x-rays, my son amazed me by cooperating. The penny was not lodged in his esophagus but was in his tummy. After 5 days of inspecting baby poop I can safely say he is ok. Although, he still puts everything in his mouth.

Upon seeing a sign for the Fall Carnival at her school, my daughter immediately began trying to decide what to wear. 3rd Graders sometimes wear costumes, but only if their peers find it “cool.” She is moving out of the princess phase towards “American Girl” and teen pop icons. She loves school and the chance to spend time with friends. But she says she already misses her brother.

My husband of 17 years works hard to play even harder.  He prides himself on being available for his real estate clients. He will gladly wake up at 4am to go fishing for a few hours and still make it into work for a 9am meeting. He will also wake up when either child needs more attention than I have the energy for. The surprise, yet truly desired, blessing of having a second child has brought our family closer together. We make a great team! 

When my daughter started grade school, I enjoyed meeting the families and teachers at her school. I was hired to supervise recess and assist the office staff. After volunteering at the school plant sale, I was approached to join the PTA as co-Treasurer. I helped ensure that funds raised went back to support the school and to benefit the kids’ social experience. Being PTA co-President this year, furthers my opportunities to engage with the community of parents that I know and appreciate.

The Pacific Northwest has so many opportunities to connect and interact.  I am thankful to be a native of Washington State. I was born in Richland, graduated from Gonzaga University in Spokane, and have lived for 16 years in Seattle.
