Corless Clan Connection - Sterling Heights, Michigan 7 August 2011





Dear Family,
Dinosauria-ers - Mom & Dad and Eduarda met Holli, Joseph, Joshua and Isaiah at the Zoo to experience the animated dinosaur exhibit, the Arctic Ring of Life and other animals.  It was a warm day, but between the shade and air conditioned buildings we survived and enjoyed the short time together.  We missed Daniel & Nathan, as they were at a LDS Encampment of boys from several states in this region.
Soccer - There a bit of good Brazilian soccer playing blood in the Michigan Corless Clan.  Monday night Vanessa and Eduarda played forwards in an indoor game together. Eduarda came very close to scoring and Vanessa actually scored the winning goal.  Wednesday evening, Michael made some great saves as Dad video recorded it. Afterward, the referee told Michael how well he did stopping breakaways and making difficult saves.  
Farewell - Tuesday was a hard day for all of us because Mom & Dad had to take Eduarda to the airport to catch her flight to start her journey back home to Brazil and family. We are missing her here, but we are glad to hear she arrived safely to hugs and kisses as well as a great churrasco with her family. Thanks, Eduarda, for coming and bringing a part of our Brazilian family with you and, hopefully, taking a part of the Michigan family back with you. Thanks to all the family who made her stay with us a great memory for all of us. For more photos of her visit:  http://gallery.me.com/rcorless#101064
Marine City Fish Company - For Friday date night, Mom & Dad went with Stebar’s and enjoyed each other’s company as well as very tasty dinner by the St. Clair River. We walked along the river and sat in the shade watching the boats and people having fun on a warm summer day. It was considered, at least, a small victory that everyone was feeling good enough to get out for a while.
Plumb Good - Ryan with Dad got wet, but they completed the plumbing of the drain and faucet for the sink in Maureen’s salon, thus making it a fully operational beautification station, which is now the ultimate weapon in the galaxy against the bad hair day. Go Maureen. No pressure, but more than ever, the fate of our hair is in your hands now!  :-)
Love y’all, Mom & Dad
