We Survived Week One of School

The boys began school this week and mostly it was a success. Nikolas reports he really likes his teacher and new school. It was interesting this week that we received a letter indicating Nikolas was not accepted at his old school -Northside (long story) so he would need to enroll at Mountain View. The local paper this week reported that enrollment was down at Northside. We have not figured out why Nikolas had to change schools. It appears it was a good change for him.

Matthew did OK adjusting to his new school. We had a tiny blip the first day as it was discovered there was a nother child in his class who has difficulty getting along with Matthew. Unfortunately, he was given a new homeroom. While he was not happy about this he has made a new friend and really likes his science class because the teacher has some hissing roaches. Readapting to a school schedule was not as bad as we thought.

Gail continues to be quite busy with the "Wizard of Oz." Matthew and Nikolas are going to be in the play. Except for Andy this is a family affair. Gail reports the start of school is getting easier, but she was still a bit sad to see the boys go back. She is also readjusting her cleaning schedule and has picked up a few new accounts.

Andy continues to be quite busy. He is getting back into doing the adult cases after doing the juvenile matters for over a year. He is going to do his first parole revocation hearing this week. He also starts teaching his class this week. We probably will not be seeing much of him.

We hope all is well with you. Take care until next week.
