Grant Unplugged

May 20, 2009

I was supposed to take these pictures 2 weeks ago, but we all know what happened.  And then life just kept getting in the way.  I finally made it over to see Mr. Grant again, and I wanted to get some cute-o pictures.

He had other plans.

and…

So Photographer Heather turned into Aunt Heather, and a few minutes later, we were able to get this cuteness

and this…

and this…

and finally this…

And then he got mad at me again….so we called it a day :)

I love newborns :)

First, I headed back to work :(

Then, on my second day back, I left early to take Nolan to his 2 month Doctor appointment.  However, we didn’t make it there, because this happenend:

Don’t worry, we are ok.  Nolan didn’t have a scratch on him, Thank You God.  It was the absolute scariest moment of my life.  It was raining, and a lady in a Trailblazer tried to gun it out into the road during the busiest time of the day on Thomas More Parkway.  She lost control of her car, and the next thing I know, I see a truck spinning toward me and I had no where to go.

The airbag bloodied my nose and chipped my front two teeth.  I have nasty burns and bruises from the seatbelt, and my legs are banged up pretty bad.  My neck still hurts, and I will most likely have to start regularly going to the chiropractor.  But it could have been worse, it could have been so much worse.  There was an angel looking over us last Wednesday, and since it was May 6th, I am pretty sure it was Grandpa Wolff :)

Nate will never live down the fact that when he finally answered his phone, he told me to “hold on”.  And dealing with insurance has been a nightmare.  But we finally got some answers, so we went out and bought this:

Yep, I bought the same van.  It has a few more options than the one I had :) I didn’t even look at anything else.  That van took care of us, it took care of my baby, so I will not drive anything else. 

So I went back to work on Monday, and acted like it was my first week back.  Then I found out that a childhood friend died.  Attending the funeral of someone you went to school with just isn’t fun, and doesn’t seem fair.  It should not have been his time.  RIP Matt Harney.

Next week will be better.  I joke that I wish our life would go back to just semi-crazy!

And today is Loren’s due date!  Happy Due Date!  No baby yet, but it seems the contractions are getting a little bit stronger, so hopefully we will have baby news soon!!!  I can’t wait to be an aunt!

Cletus is currently Nolan’s favorite perch :)

I don’t know why Picasa is making some of my pictures small :(   If anyone has any idea, will you please let me know?

I apologize for this post being sooooo late!

The hottest day of the year thus far was of course the day of the March for Babies walk!  Tiffany, being 9 months preggo got a hold of a wheelchair, and rode her way around the city :) The downfall to that being that Luke pushed, so she had to endure 3 hours of Sherwin Williams talk between Nate and Durbin :(

Thank you to everyone who donated to the cause in Carter’s name. 

Grant wasn’t supposed to arrive until May 11 – but he had other plans.  On May 1st, Tiffany and Luke welcomed Grant Preston into the world, weighing 7lbs 5oz and 19 inches long.

He is one lucky kid.  Not only does he have parents and family and friends who adore him, he has one special angel looking down on him :)
