Dear Family,
Michael is home and he is glad to be here, and we are happy to have him here. His flights were delayed almost 8 hours, just in time for the snow to make the roads slick for our drive home.
Most of our time this week was devoted to Ryan & Maureen in support of the family and specially Rex Stuart. Another high priority was finishing the basement enough so the Preston and Jacob could sleep there to make room for Maureen's parents, who came late Thursday night.
Friday, Mom, Dad, and Michael went to see the new inspirational movie “Invictus” about the South African Rugby team and Nelson Mandela. David has got to see this one!
Sunday we attended North Shores Ward for the blessing of Rex Stuart Corless by Ryan assisted by both Grandfathers, Rex and Stuart and Uncles, Jim and Michael. Tyler held the microphone making it completely a family affair. We then rushed back to attend our Ward meetings. After all the church meetings, we went to the Frank's annual Christmas Party where we enjoyed seeing some of the people from the old neighborhood and singing Christmas carols. We went to see Jim and Vanessa and then Ryan and Maureen for few minutes before going home, to give them all the Christmas gifts from the Frank's. Later, (around 10 pm), we stopped at church to take home all the gifts from the Relief Society to the women's shelter so they can be delivered on Monday.
Never a dull moment as we approach Christmas. We hope we can “hold together”, as Grandma says.
Love y'all, Mom & Dad
