Yes, to grandmother's house we went. Michael was given permission to leave town for a "vacation," so we went to visit out-of-town relatives for a week. We divided our time in Iowa between my parents' home and my sister's family's home. It was a wonderful time of relaxing, nephews/cousins' birthday parties, meeting our newest nephew/cousin from AZ, cookouts (with s'mores!), backyard swimming, too many indoor and outdoor games to even count, a beach picnic, and lots of visiting and other fun activities.
While we stayed at both homes, we were able to meet or renew acquaintance with several sweet friends who have faithfully prayed for Michael and encouraged him from afar. We were again reminded of what a true blessing so many of you have been.

It was hard for all of us to believe that the last time we left town was over Memorial Day weekend last year. What a long, wonderful, exciting year it's been!
