A New Car? Not Quite.




I wish the picture above was a Dodge Avenger in my driveway simply because we decided to get a new car . . . it is not. It is a rental car. We have it for about a month while our car is fixed because last Saturday we were in a car accident on the 202 freeway in Mesa and our car is seriously injured. Fortunately, none of us were seriously injured. We were especially grateful that Michelle was perfectly fine, aside from being quite shaken up at the time it happened. We spent the bulk of the day in the hospital ER making sure I was okay, and I was except for a back sprain. We are so lucky that Mike and Jacqueline came to our rescue and took care of Michelle (and us). It would have been impossible without their help!

Anyway, this past week has been a lot of phone calls and meetings with insurance people and hopefully if it all works out right we won't have to pay for anything. Though we DO have to pay taxes on the rental car, which I think is LAME. Anyway, it has been an adventure.

Michelle went in for her 9 month checkup and the doctor gave us something else to worry about . . . since she is not crawling, and refuses to put weight on her legs when held in a standing position or put in a walker, and because she can completely fold herself in half, pulling her legs over her head when her diaper is changed the doctor ordered x-rays to check for problems. We will know the results of those sometime next week. It's a little stressful to worry about, but we keep trying to tell ourselves she is probably just moving along slowly because she never liked to be on her tummy when she was littler. Now she likes to be on her tummy all the time, as shown in the pic below.

Brooke, I hope everything's back to normal now. Car accidents can be so scary.

I was going to tell you that I have received 2 emails from your email that look like spam. Maybe it's not and you really want to tell me about some company??? Anyway, I just wanted to let you know in case maybe you had a virus or something.
