We are so very proud of both of our boys. The Blue and Gold Dinner was last week and Nikolas received his Bear award, as well as several belt loops. He now has them prominently displayed at home. He worked hard to earn the award. Matthew also had an exciting week. The Middle School Science Fair occurred and Matthew did a project on crystals. Gail and Andy were very proud of him for doing the whole thing on his own. He definitely had some encouragement, but when it came time to create the display, he completed it on his own.

Our unusually warm weather also continues, Tuesday it made it into the 60's which we all enjoyed. The boys especially enjoyed being able to get outside and run around. It wasn't to last, as Saturday we had some snow squalls, but they were not as bad as predicted.

Gail continues to be quite busy with her theater and voice students. She missed having Andy around as he was off to Reno for a training and to attend some meetings Tuesday to Thursday. He also had a chance to attend a concert and reported it was a great time. You will have to ask him of the details, but he said it took him back to his college days.

We hope all is well.
