We woke up to our first cold morning this Sunday. It was -2 this morning, but by the afternoon it warmed as it clouded up and by sunset we had snow. Such goes Nevada weather.

We are all doing quite well and so excited for this Christmas season. This last week was our community's annual creche festival which went great. Gail sang a solo in the Messiah sing-a-long and it is no exaggeration to say she was in a class by herself. It took almost 1/2 hour before everyone gave their congratulations. Elko has now discovered what Andy has known all along-his wife is talented. We were excited to have Gail's parents here to enjoy the performance.

The boys continue to do well and seem to be settling in better to school and their activities. Gail and Andy are doing the same with work. Andy was in Reno this week at a conference for Drug Courts and came home with some great information. We are glad that his travels are done for a while. The last six weeks Andy has been gone nearly every week.

We all hope each of you are doing well.
