Saturday we went to visit Patrice's grandparents who live in St. Die, about 2 hours away. It is technically his step father's parents but they are the only grandparents he really knew. They are very nice and we had a nice visit.
We left in the afternoon and on the way home we stopped by our friends' house in Luneville. Emanuel grew up with Patrice (from church) and married Maria who he met while serving a mission in Ireland. They are awesome. They have 6 kids and just found out she's expecting her 7th. As it turned out, it happened to be Maria's birthday so we ended up staying for dinner. Maria's amazing and it's hard to believe that she's 90% blind (thus the red-eye in the night pictures). She has some peripheral vision so she's very able and you can't even tell she's blind. Plus she's a singer (represented Ireland in the EuroVision in 85). She sang at Alienor's baptism. Anyway, they have a very cool family and we love visiting with them.
Just wanted to post some pictures.
