Sunday December 6th
Dear Family,
The Best Gift - The crowning event this week is the arrival of a handsome and healthy little boy to Maureen & Ryan. He was born 4:19 am on Wednesday 2 Dec 2009 and weighed 7 pounds 4 oz and was 20.5” long. Mom & I were privileged to stay with Preston, Jacob and Sophia for a couple of days until Ryan & Maureen brought Rex Stuart Corless home, where he was received with great anticipation, love and care by his siblings. Thanks to Heavenly Father - all is well!
Technical Difficulties - Wednesday we got a new AT&T fiber optic phone, internet and TV, which took about 4 ½ hours to install, so we were not able to take the siblings to visit their brand new brother on the day of his birth. The backup visit plan was to go the next day, but the alternator and battery of the Explorer gave up after 7 years and 94,000+ miles of service; the “Little Red Wagon” had to be hauled to the dealership to be repaired. Since we could not all fit in the Jeep the backup visit plan was scrubbed. Sorry!
Matter Organized - Mom worked hard to get the house, inside and out, to look just right for Christmas. She is so relieved to get that finished and all the storage boxes etc. put away. Once again, the house is clean and in order! We are almost ready to publish the Christmas letter, which summarizes our journeys of 2009. There is still much to be done to complete the preparations, but we have gotten a start and the efforts are proceeding to realize the plan to have everything ready.
We hope all is well with everyone.
Love y'all, Mom & Dad
