Three Month Pics for Isaac, etc.

Last night, Isaac had a repeat of his previous two nights' performances and screamed for a very extended period of time. Heidi was trying to give Matt a little break, so she took Mr. Fussypants outside on the patio and swung with him on the hammock for a while. Matt brought out a space heater to make things more comfortable, and Isaac finally went to sleep.

This morning, he woke up in a significantly better mood. Heidi fed him before leaving for the Hospital Buen Samaritano and he went to sleep. It's a good thing, too! Matt had had Heidi drive home from Chichi yesterday so that she would have a little practice in the Tacoma before she drove it today (it drives very differently from our other two vehicles).

Upon arriving home yesterday, we were so concerned about getting Isaac inside that we forgot to turn off the lights. So this morning, the Toyota wouldn't start (the truck is tough, but it's not THAT tough!) Matt pushed the truck to the edge of our very steep driveway and we had one try to roll-start it. No luck.

Then we tried to see if the extra battery that's been in the shed for God-knows-how-long was charged. Nope. Then Heidi grabbed some guys who were waiting outside the ER to help us try to push start the truck in the road. Still no luck.

Then, as God always does, He sent help. A man walked up, introduced himself as a mechanic, and offered to help us. He helped us with a few more attempts at a push-start, but still no luck. Then, one of our doctor friends walked out to her car. This mechanic convinced her to let us start the truck with the battery from her car (no one here carries jumper cables, including us - which probably should change). He pulled the battery from her car, started the Toyota, put the battery back in her car, reinstalled the battery in the Toyota, and Heidi was on her way.

Isaac slept the whole time. Oh, and the mechanic refused payment. Thank you God for both of those things!!!

When Isaac woke, he was in a great mood. So Matt got to take some 3-month pictures, some of which we'll share here. Heidi will post the others in our snapfish account later, so be sure to look there Moms and Dads.

The first few pics are self-explanatory and the last one is Isaac offering to help with the truck next time...
