Welcome May

Another wonderful week has come and gone here in Elko. The trees are in blossom, we actually do have flowers blooming and it is refreshing and invigorating to see the beauty of Spring all around us. Much like New England though winter reminds us it is king. Tuesday it never got about 40 outside and we even had some snow flurries.

Everyone continues to do well. The boys are counting down the days until the end of school, while Gail and Andy hope these last few days stretch out a bit more. We all cannot believe that the school year is about to come to an end. The boys will be done on May 30th. Matthew has shown some great improvements over the last months and we are excited to see him settle in. Nikolas continues to be the adventurous 6year old that he is, anxiously awaiting his 7th birthday in a month. The boys enjoy playing outside and two nights a week get to the pool with Andy. Which, by the way, despite being still a bit chilly, the outdoor pool in Elko has opened and Andy now anticipates that once this is discovered will require its more regular use.

Gail had an exciting development. She has signed up a new consultant as part of her network for Pampered Chef. She is entering a new phase as she begins the building of her dynasty. Gail continues to work at the daycare and enjoys doing so.

Andy's week went well. He had a trial on Tuesday that went well. His client was found guilty of the least serious of the three offenses he was charged with. Next week will be quite busy as he has 3 trials and 2 preliminary hearings. All of which occur over a 2 day period.

We just returned from a nice weekend in Boise visiting Gail's family. We went up Friday afternoon to attend our nephew/cousin Torsten's baptism Saturday morning. After the baptismal service we had a nice family get together, did some shopping and enjoyed the beautiful weather. We mostly visited with family and it was nice to get away.

Overall we are all doing quite well and hope the same for you. Until next week.
