The boys have survived the 1st week of school and all has gone well. Nikolas has enjoyed being able to walk or ride his scooter to school. He likes his new teacher who is actually his old teacher from 2nd grade. Overall he is glad to be back at the school he started when we first arrived in Nevada. It is hard to believe we are coming up on three years here. Matthew had an excellent week. He began the 6th grade and so far we have had excellent reports. We finally got his report card from last year to discover Matthew ended the year with 5 A or A-. We were very excited for him but he has no realized the expectation is high for this year. We will keep you posted as the year continues.

Unfortunately, Gail was very sick this week so was not able to enjoy the beginning of the school year. She is doing better but was up and off her feet for most of the week. Andy was back at work and did his best to help her, get the boys ready each day and get to work. Andy begins teaching his classes tomorrow and he is looking forward to teaching again. Overall, except for Gail it was a great week.

This morning at church our whole family spoke in sacrament meeting. Everyone did a great job and we are adjusting to our new ward.

We hope all is well.
