Corless Connection - 26 September 2010 - Sterling Heights, Michigan


Dear Family,
Bust a Gut  - Tyler set the family schedule upside down after being hospitalized with a lacerated spleen and a partially collapsed lung recieved in a scrimmage football game. Thankfully, they did not remove the spleen and after some tense days in the ICU he is recovering very well at home.  However, he is suffering major disappointment because his football season as starting quarterback has abruptly ended before it even got started. There is always next year.
Sorenson USMC - We received Uncle Nile’s book aboout his 3 years in the Marine Corp during World War II. What a precious gift we can hardly wait to read it all!  (Dad has alreaady read 80 pages.) Thank you! 
Brazil - Mom is getting prepared for her trip to visit family. Dad has been helping prepare a family photo album and movie for her to entertain the Brazilian half of the family. 
Date Night - Mom & Dad went with Stebar’s for a dinner at the Marine City Fish Company and for a windy walk on the St. Clair boardwalk.  Afterwards, they all visited Tyler in the hospital to wish him well.
Drivin’ & Ridin’ - Saturday morning Dad went for a 10 mile bike ride with Vanessa and drove Samantha to her soccer game. Thankfully, Papa & Nona were able to help out by giving rides and staying with Tyler for a few hours so Jim could go home. 
Brazilian Birthday Bash - Today we had the family get together for Mom’s birthday at Ryan & Maureen’s. It was decored with Brazilian motif with the traditional Sunday dinner of chicken & pasta.  Several special desserts including: strawberry cheesecake, Sagu (grape tapioca), Strawberries dipped in chocolate, cinnamon cake with sauce, and cinnamon rolls were savored by all. We played games, including: What do you know about Mom, Catagories, the candy game and hide and go seek with the gifts. Thanks to Ryan & Maureen for hosting the party and we were grateful Tyler was well enough to attend. Photos: http://gallery.me.com/rcorless#100635
