Searching for a tree
Monday was a little more of an adventure for us than originally planned. We headed out to the tree farm Monday afternoon to get a Christmas tree. After a good bit of looking in the snow, we selected a nice bushy tree to take home with us. It is quit heavy, but very pretty and Henry loves it.
Our tree in the 'wild'
After carefully securing the tree to the roof of the car, we headed home. Daniel was driving very carefully to make sure the tree did not slide off and because the roads were slick. Well, less than three miles from the house we stopped at the stop sign, Daniel quickly reached up to check that the tree was still there and all was well. Then he was preparing to go through the intersection, when there was a loud boom and a jolt to our car. No the tree had not fallen in fact it was quite in tact on top of the car. However, we were rear-ended by a lady that lost control of her car on the ice.
Our car
It was quite an impact, but fortunately no one was seriously injured. Henry was strapped in his sit and both Daniel and I were wearing our seat belts. Her car was badly damaged and most likely totally. Our car fared better and is fixable. We spent four hours in labor and delivery, no not having a baby, but being monitored. All is well with the baby and there does not appear to be any
damage to the placenta or any other concerns. Today, we are all quite sore and well be visiting the chiropractor for the next few weeks.
The other car
Now, the fun begins with getting back in good health and
dealing with the insurance company on the repairs, rental car, new car seat, and medical expenses.
However, it should be pretty easy since we both have State Farm
and her insurance should cover it all.
