Moterhome Trip

Hi! Well we made it! Just barely though... haha! Hildegard coined in the trip from H. And it definitely had it's moments... We left Canada on Monday in the motor home and the first day went pretty good. We didn't get too far, but stopped in Lake George, PA at a nice campground. The next day we were driving and the generator that runs the AC went out, and so we opened the windows and tried to keep cool, but it was a long day! That night when we stopped it took a long time to cool down, about 2:00 I finally felt 'normal' again. The next day we rose early to try and get in the cool part of the day. Around 1:00 we stopped and said it was just too hot to go on, so we stopped at the next hotel that took dogs around 3:00 we checked in. We stayed there til Midnight and then hit the road to drive through the night home. However, the lights were not strong and after about 4 hours we had to stop to wait for light to continue, the AC worked for a while there which was nice. Then as we continued there was problem with the power, and we pulled over and got towed to the nearest garage. We were about 2 hours from Daytona and we ended up being at the garage for 6 hours! Little Vincent was a trouper through it all, but it was hard at the garage, in this small waiting room all day and we just had to take turns walking him or otherwise entertaining him. We made it into Daytona that night, and were all exhausted! We were so happy to find our place freshly cleaned from Troy and Kimberley's visit (thank you guys!!!) because we were some weary travelers! The next day we drove the rest of the way to Tampa. So now we're back and looks like we'll be here the rest of the year. Jeffrey realized that he is unable to tackle school and work this semester while he's still dealing with this pain. We're right now searching for a good Physical therapist, Orthopedic Doctor and Neurologist in Tampa. So if you know of any please give us a call or email!! :) The school said they would hold his job for him for next semester, so right now we're praying that he'll be better by that time, please join us in this prayer!! We'd love to come and visit everyone, but Jeffrey is just not up to it, however he said he would up for visitors here, so please come and stop by, little Vincent is growing so big and we'd love to see you all!
Here are some pictures from the baptism/dedication service in Canada.
