Mother Nature has been trying to trick us this last week. Typical of living in the high desert, we had cooler temperatures and some snow flurries this week. It looks to improve to spring like weather this week, meaning we can get back outside and work on our gardens and the yard.

The Mierins family had quite a busy week. Gail has been enjoying herself attending all 3 performances of "The Sound of Music" this week by the high school drama departments. She has several students performing and she had a great time attending. The boys were not as interested so they stayed home, meaning everyone was happy.

Matthew and Nikolas are doing well. Each is excited for summer with one month of school left. We had an IEP meeting for Matthew this week and he has shown some great progress since taking his new medication. All of us are glad he is shown some improvement. We have not seen a progress report, but each of his teachers reported he is more attentive and motivated.

Nikolas is in full swing of baseball season. He had 3 games this week and all went well. He is having adjustments going from coach pitch to facing a real pitcher, but he is doing well.

Andy is busy as always. He was in Carson City last Monday and Tuesday for some parole violation hearings. He reports the capital is beautiful. Andy was elected the President of the Board of Directors for a local social services non-profit and that has taken up even more of his time lately due to an immediate need to move. Overall he still enjoys what he does and with him happy all of us are happy.

We hope all is well.
