I guess it’s time for another update. We’ve been so busy I’ve almost forgotten about the blog.
Cindy has been spending quite a bit of her time with her mom and her aunt. I’ve been keeping busy working on the coach. And on weekends we’ve been spending time with our kids.
We took a big leap of faith when we traded up to this coach last March. We didn’t plan to be back to Louisiana until late fall. So any problems we would have would either have to be done on the road wherever possible or wait until we made it back south. Luckily we had minimal problems and were able to repair those on the road. Most campgrounds won’t allow any repairs at the campsites but we did spend time at a couple friends where we could do a couple things. Or were able to sneak in a quick repair when needed.
But any updates or big repairs would have to wait until we made it back. Fortunately we have a great spot here in Paincourtville. I have access to a 40x40 barn to use as a workshop. This has come in real handy working on things. Thanks to the quality of Newells we haven’t had any big repairs. The biggest update was the LiFePO4 battery system and I’m happy to say I finally have the inverter charging the battery like I want. I’ve moved tools and spare parts into the basement where the old batteries were. It’s really nice to gain so much more room once I pulled out 1000# of batteries! The LiFePO4’s weight only 400# and are giving me about twice the capacity.
Wednesday we are taking Ella to Disney World for a couple days. We fly out Wednesday morning and will spend Thursday and Friday at Magic Kingdom then fly home on Saturday. We surprised her last weekend but like any 5 year old it took her a while to understand that it would be more than a week before we would take the trip. Yesterday she was really excited talking about the trip and looking at maps on a guide book. It’s gonna be a fun trip!
Eva is really growing and becoming more aware. She is starting to “talk” and look around more. And Ella is such fun to watch how much she loves her little sister. After her soccer game last weekend when we got back to her house Eva was crying so she ran into the bathroom to wash her hands. She told me she had to hurry because “she had baby work to do”! She ran to Eva and calmed her down by talking to her and consoling her. So much fun.
It’s getting almost time to pack up and start traveling again. We’ll leave sometime after my birthday. I’m going to hit the big 6 oh in a couple weeks and hope to boil crawfish with our kids.
We’re thinking of going east this spring maybe over to Richmond and then D.C. but we’ll be back in June for a few weeks for Ella’s birthday and dance recital. Then we head out where it’s cool for the rest of the summer.
