8.15.12 The Van

Forgot to mention the wheelchair van in my post to you a bit ago. We are really, really blessed by our new van. It is amazing how much simpler it is to have Aimee right in her chair. Plus, a new benefit is that we have a great floor space for diaper changes. :) We did have a bit of a hiccup on our drive down to California. Apparently, this van likes Washington weather and did not appreciate temperatures over 100 degrees for extended driving. We were able to make it home fine, as we drove up the coast and only had a short drive in the higher temperatures. Honestly though, I even see this challenge as a blessing. It allowed us to spend the hot daytime hours with family members on the way down, which we thought we would have very little time to do. More good gifts!
