So much has happened in the last few weeks, I have not had time to even sign in and blog. After the collapse of the bridge in Minneapolis, I was so relieved and blessed to find all my family and friends safe and sound. We were watching Caleb and Sophie (the two youngest grand kids) so did not have the television on to learn about bridge collapse. Chris called to tell us that Brian and Angie were okay and not to worry so my immediate thoughts were "car accident" and then oh no! the baby. I asked Chris "Were Angie and Brian going somewhere together"? and he proceded to tell me about the bridge collapse and that all of our family was okay and not near the bridge on this fateful night. We immediately turned on the television and sat mesmerized for the next few hours. So many thoughts ran through our mind. Terrorists? A chemical truck explosion? A bomb or missle? Even though news coverage assured us that it was not terroristic, we wondered what happened then to cause this tragic event. To learn later in the next few days that this was do to a weakened, stress cracked bridge did not help to ease the mind. What fast action the city took to help those in need and it warmed one's heart to hear of the heroic saving of many lives. I am hoping that there will be future safe guards so that something like this will not happen again!
On a happier note, last Friday we learned that our Saeger baby will be a "BOY".
On Saturday, we heard all about the ultra sound and that baby is growing and developing well. Girls out number the grandkids at this point in time so I am sure Caleb will be very happy with another boy cousin!
Kenzie and Madi have been staying with us the last week. They are going to bible school at Grace and really loving it. The fellowship hall is decorated in a fish-beach theme and everyday they do a craft that is as they say "pretty cool grandma"! There is a lot of game playing and singing of songs too. They have their singing program and a little skit tonight at church and I am sure it will be fun to watch.
Rachel and Bill were able to set the date for their wedding - JULY 19th - the church is booked and the reception place is set so it is on to rest of the planning for them. Rachel was out looking for wedding dresses with her mom last weekend and was able to find one. She sounded very excited about finding the perfect dress! Rachel and Bill have set up the coolest web site for wedding planning. There is a great picture of the both of them taken by the lake in Alexandria. It is fun to see the plans progress and we are looking forward to keeping up on the planning.
Hopefully, a quiet weekend.............
