Dear Family,
Portuguese - Tuesday night, Mom & Dad coordinated baptisms, and, on an impromptu basis, helped a Brazilian lady through a session. It was a bit of struggle, but they were successful and everyone was smiling.
Eagles R Us - Tyler is getting prepared for his Eagle Scout Board of Review. Dad was asked and wrote a recommendation letter for him. Tyler will be the 6th Eagle Scout in our family and Nathan, who is also getting close, is on schedule to be the 7th.
For Health of it - Mom and Dad have had medical check ups and blood tests to qualify for the “Enhanced” medical insurance. Dad got a score of 100/100 and his cholesterol level dropped again. Eating good stuff in the right amount and exercising is paying off. Go Dad!
Auto Show - After Dad played racquetball, Ryan, Mom and Dad attended and had a great time together at the Auto Show in Detroit’s Cobo Hall. Mom loves the new 2011 Explorer. Ryan shared his expertise with Mom & Dad. Dad took over a hundred photos (http://gallery.me.com/rcorless#100801). Afterward, Mom & Dad went with Ryan & Maureen to Porto Vallarta, a Mexican restaurant, for a fajita dinner and then on to shop at Costco.
Joshua’s Birthday - Joshua is turning 9, and the family celebration took place Sunday afternoon. Jack, Jim’s Mom and Sister, and our family brought gifts to give, voices to sing and mouths to eat cake and ice cream. Happy Birthday to Joshua, a precious grandbuddy.
Kneed to Know - Pedro Armando’s knee is improving. He is still in the hospital, but the fever is gone and he is able to get up and walk a little with a “stick” (crutch?). His road to recovery includes 3 months of convalescing and medication at home. Keep him in your prayers. On another sad and somber note, two of Mom’s cousins that she just visited in Uruguay, past away a couple of weeks ago. Mom is so glad to have gone to Uruguay and been able to reconnect with them. Mom was 16 years old the last time she went to Uruguay - she had not seen them for ~45 years! Her trip turned out to be a great blessing.
Love y’all,
Mom & Dad
