The excitement continues for Matthew. Today was his first Sunday to pass the sacrament. He said he was a bit scared at first, but then realized how easy it was. He did a great job. Andy gave him a bit of advice before hand, the best was that if you see Mom crying (which she did) it doesn't mean you are not doing a good job. After church he reiterated that being a Deacon rocks.

September chugs along. The boys continue to do well with school and playing. Nikolas has found a friend next door and enjoys riding his bike and playing with his new friend. We are having a bit of a time getting Matthew to do his homework, so any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Gail continues to do her thing and Andy is busy as always with work, school and now his new calling.

Andy was in Carson City this last week to do some parole violation hearings at the state prison. He said it was nice to be out there again. While in Carson City he met up with a friend and did a bit of shopping at Costco. We were glad to have him back Tuesday evening.

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.
