We made a quick trip to Minneapolis yesterday when we learned our son’s wife was in labor. Olive Sophia Grabe was born yesterday afternoon. Mom and baby (and dad) are doing well.

A note for relatives and those we know who follow my blog.
You may have heard that this evening a major bridge collapsed in Minneapolis. Cindy and our youngest daughter (Kim) were on a shopping trip at the time and drove over the bridge approx. 5 minutes before the collapse. We spent some time attempting to contact them after the news hit the television. It was impossible to keep a cell phone signal for more than a few moments, but Cindy was able to contact us to let us know they were fine.
The roadways were jammed because it was rush hour and the collapse is near the site of the Metrodome where a Twins game was just starting. There is no information on fatalities at this time. Cindy and Kim gave up trying to get back across town and are staying at Kim’s house this evening.
