Dinner with Grandma Margie & Neil

Sunday night we went out to dinner with Matt's Grandma Margie and his cousin Neil, who was in town from Texas for a weekend conference in Minneapolis. Neil and his wife Debra and their young daughter Grace are originally from Texas, but moved to Minnesota for about a year and a half for a new adventure. Last December of 2007 they moved back to Texas to be closer to family. We miss them so much! In May they had their second baby, a little girl named Haley. Matt is close to all of his cousins, and it was great to see Neil this weekend. We also enjoyed spending time with Grandma, who lives in Golden Valley. She is such a positive, spirit-filled woman, and she is always so loving and supportive towards us when we see her.

I got an email at work this afternoon from our Aunt Kathy saying that Grandma fell this morning and broke her hip and is now in the hospital. She will have surgery tomorrow. Matt went to see her in the hospital today after school, and she was resting in her room. Please pray for Grandma Margie as she has the surgery to repair her broken hip and I'm sure has a long road to recovery ahead.

Here are a few pictures from our time together last night. Isn't Grandma cute? :)
