Well this has been an exciting week in Elko, Nevada. The boys returned to school this week after a two week break for Christmas. We received 4 inches of snow on Sunday and then another 5 inches of snow on Wednesday. This of course over inundated the road crews and thus the schools were closed Wednesday. The nice thing was that we received a phone message at 6:15 in the morning letting us know. Since the school was closed, the daycare center Gail works at was closed as well. As a result the boys spent the day outside playing. Below are a few pictures of their adventures. Nikolas is getting quite good on the snowboard and now wants us to buy one for him. He does stand up on it and yes, that is him in the air going off a jump the boys built. Thank goodness our AFLAC insurance went into effect before the first snow.

We watched with anticipation as the results from the NH Primary were announced. The 19th are the Nevada Caucuses and it will be interesting to see what occurs. A few candidates have made their way to Elko.

Gail will begin a new job Monday. She is going to be cleaning the daycare center she has been working at in the evenings. She will continue to work in the center during the day, but only in the morning. She is both excited and happy about this.

Andy continues to be busy with his work. He is doing more serious cases. This week he was assigned a major drug case. With I-80 passing through Elko there are a lot of these cases when people get pulled over and drugs are found. This case involves about $300,000 in cocaine. As we have said before Andy thinks he has found his area of the law. Criminal Defense work is exciting and each day is a new adventure.

that about sums up our week. We hope you all have a wonderful week.
