Dear Family,
Miracle Michael - During his mission, the Lord saw fit for him survive electrocution that he might continue his work on the earth. Now the Lord has blessed Michael with a young lady that accepted his proposal of marriage that they may continue their work on the earth together. Congratulations to Michael & Melanie! Wedding plans are being firmed up - they intend to be married this December. The whole clan is all excited about getting together and anxious to get plans made. But wait that isn’t all - Michael has been accepted to start attending BYU this coming winter semester! Congratulations Michael!!!
Hreinson Return - Saudades... Gratefully, Ryan & Rachel & tribe safely returned to Denver after their Michigan visit. They did indeed arrive home safely, but not necessarily healthy. We pray that they will quickly overcome the various minor maladies that besieged them. Thanks for the visit!
Coughers Connection - Meanwhile, Mom & Dad are coughing like it is going out of style. Dad took her home early from the temple on Tuesday evening, due to an uncontrollable coughing episode. Mom’s doctor visit on Wednesday morning had no conclusive diagnoses, but she has an allergy pill to see if that clears it up.
Home Improvement - Dad helped Ryan (on Ryan’s birthday) install four recessed lights in their kitchen. It really helped brighten up their kitchen, and most importantly, Maureen is happy. Dad helped Grandma Nilace move and arrange the plethora of furniture (couches, kingsize bed, TV, dresser, chest of drawers, etc.) in her newly completed basement bed & TV rooms.
Dirty Bird Job - Dad must think he is practicing for an audition to the “Dirty Jobs” TV show. He crawled into the attic to clean out a bird mess and to plug the holes they left. It smelled like a filthy chicken coop and was dirty and dusty in the cramped quarters of the eve edge. Then he risked life and limb (OK that is a little over dramatic, but it was scary) by climbing onto the steep pitched roof to replace the damaged vent (which is where the birds were entering) and cleaned the bird mess from the roof before it clogged the rain gutters. Dad is grateful to have that dirty & worrisome double dose of bird poop job done!
Date to Create - Much of Mom’s available time and energy has been focused on a very full Relief Society agenda including an upcoming Saturday creativity activity. Thankfully, she has very capable counselors and Board Members to carry out the plans.
Bikers Color Tour - Mom, Dad & Vanessa specially enjoyed their cool fall air ride, along Clinton River Trail because the tree leaves are starting to show their bright beautiful yellow, orange and red fall colors.
Sports - The Detroit Tigers have clinched their division. And this clan’s fall schedule is packed with baseball, football and soccer players along with a swimmer and a couple of dancers. No couch potatoes here!

Speak, Hear, See - Papa & Nona got to talk to, hear and see Lara, Abby, Sarah and Sam Friday evening. Dad even took Lara for a virtual tour of the new and rearranged family room furniture and basement TV room with his iPhone. It felt good to spend the time to connect with them.
Myriam’s Family Birthday Party was a success thanks to all the family that came and brought food, gifts and specially lots of joy!
