Henry's 1st Big Adventure!

It all started with the fact that the Radio Shack in Mars Hill, is only open Monday-Friday. Have you honestly ever known a Radio Shack to not be open on Saturday??? Anyways, we were in search of a carbon monoxide detector since it was our first night at the house with Henry, and because our source of heat is a ventless propane heater. The Ingles in town did not have any detectors either. After sleeping in until 11 (of course we had to wake up for feedings), mommy and daddy decided to give Henry his first bath. After bath time was feeding, and Henry fell asleep in his swing! He seemed to really enjoy it! Mom and dad then decided to take Henry to Lowe's, so that we could purchase said carbon monoxide detector. After meeting Carl's boss, and purchasing the detector, we loaded ourselves into the car...which didn't start! Henry and mommy went across the parking lot to Walmart, to get out of the hot car and sun. After shopping for awhile, we met Carl back at the car and also met Carl's friends who were at Lowe's. Carl tried to jump start the car, but it was determined that it was the starter, not the battery. Henry got a diaper change, and a quick feeding (in the Lowe's parking lot) before Grandma T. picked him and myself up, and we drove off to Fairview (stopped at the Advance Auto to get a battery), and met Carl in Fairview (he got the car towed there). Anyways, not even an hour and a half later, Henry and I waltzed around the neighborhood with him in the Baby Bjorn (and with two of his favorite aunts Becka and Abby), and Carl had the car fixed and it started! Carl amazes me with his ability to fix cars and other things! We then went to Grandma and Grandpa W.'s where Henry had another meal...afterwards he was sound asleep, we had dinner with Grandpa and Grandma T. and we headed home! All in a Sunday afternoon!
