Well, no exciting dilemmas this week, just a great trip to visit Gail's family. After week one's sewer back-up and last week's car fire, Gail and Andy were a bit apprehensive about this week. Thankfully no disasters. In fact it was a great week.

It was a fairly typical week for the summer. The boys are enjoying summer vacation, Gail and Andy continue to work. Andy was assigned a few months back to work with another public defender in his office on a homicide trial which was to begin in two weeks, but this week looks as if it has settled. This freed up him on some work and thus gave him reason to relax.

It got very warm in the 90's this week and we discovered our house has a great ceiling fan that sucks the warm air out of the house. It has helped to make the house much cooler. In addition, Gail and Andy got shades and some drapes up which has also helped keep the house cool.

Friday we left to go visit Gail's family and have a nice reunion in a Boise City Park. It was great to see family and we enjoyed the opportunity to get away. Gail and Andy did some car shopping and think they have found a replacement. We are just waiting to see what the insurance company is going to do about the Kia.

Nikolas is staying with Grandma and Grandpa this week and looking forward to some fun with his cousins, especially going camping.

We hope you all have a great week.
