So here I am once again explaining myself. Yes, I have fallen off the blogwagon. I think it was the loss of my camera cord that has kept me so distant. Behold! I found the cord in the "extension cord basket" Not sure how it got there but I will take the blame. So a quick update. We still are homeless when it comes to our move to Grand Rapids and our renter is still pending background checks (I think, this is micks role) so wish us luck as we try to find our place in GR.
I have extended my contract at Henry Ford until July for insurance purposes, Mick will be getting his jaw surgery before we move. Mickey only has a couple weeks of Law School left!!!!! And officially graduates May 9. I'm sure you will be able to hear a sigh from our house all the way to the pacific coast the day he is done! Kyan continues to hear and is still pushing every button known to mom and dad. We are holding our own! Mr. P is has rounded 3rd base and is approaching his 2nd birthday in a few days. His bash is tomorrow, nothing extreme, a few friends, family and a lot of cake! Just how we like it.
Nolan gave Mom and Dad a scare of a life time Tues morning. He want awake by 830 so Mick and I knocked on his door together to wake him up. He was laying on his belly and whimpered when we came in. Knowing he got to bed later than usual the night before we figured he was just tired and crabby. After 15 min of him not budging, Mick picked him up, he screamed and grabbed his head/ear. It took forever to calm him down, I told Mick just to leave to bring Ky to school and I would take care of Nolan, calm him down and possibly bring him to the Ped. for what I was thinking could be an ear infection. I knew I couldnt send him to daycare like this. I sat with him in his rocking chair and rocked him and he was content. If I moved, he screamed. He was hungry, I asked if he wanted to go eat in his highchair, he screamed. I then brought him to our bed where I laid him down and then got him a nutrigrain bar to eat. When watching him eat it, it hit me. Oh my God! He cant move his neck!!! His head had been turned to the right ever since he woke up! I panicked and called mick. He call the ped and then got home and we rushed him to the ER. He climbed out of his crib the other night twice and we arnt sure if he fell our had a smooth landing, he just "appeared" to Mick in the living room. Im thinking the worst, broken neck, skull fracture, contusion......etc. So after a dreadful IV start, blood work, CT of the brain and C-spine and mult xrays all being clear they decided to admit him overnight for obs. Thank goodness for all the testing being negative! I think we should just forclose on our hose and move into the hospital, it might be cheaper! Then after a little Tylenol and then Motrin he started moving it! By 10 that night he was a new man! Talk about a hassle for a stiff neck! We are just thankful our baby is ok! Oh, did I mention I worked a night shift the night before? I finally retired to bed at 10:45pm the next night after a long 30 hours with no sleep.

So you are moving back to Grand Rapids! Let me know if you need anything! Graig, Sara and the girls are adjusting well to Kenya. I am going to visit them in June for a month!
