We are certainly enjoying spring in Nevada. The trees all have leaves, the flowers are in full bloom and we need to water the lawn. The last several days have been absolutely beautiful. In addition to the warm weather, Gail recently celebrated a birthday. Andy tried to make her a special cake, but it did not come out the way he planned, thankfully it was the thought that counts.

Gail has been very busy the last several weeks with the 'Miracle Worker" which came together and the cast and crew did a fantastic job. Nikolas played the part of Jimmy and he was great. The only disappointing thing was how few people came, it was one of the best productions put on here. In addition to the play, Gail continues to be busy with her voice students and taking great pride as they are achieving some recognition.

We had a fantastic visit with Andy's Mom and Jim last weekend. Gail went off to Boise on Saturday to see "Wicked" and had a wonderful time. We enjoyed the Cinco De Mayo parade and celebration in Elko and Jim and Nikolas got to golf. We all were sad to see them leave, but grateful for the time we got to spend together.

Matthew continues to show some great improvements since we changed some of his medications. Since the change his effort and behavior at school has drastically improved. While he still has his challenges, we are glad he seems happier. Nikolas has had a good season in baseball and is playing better. The boys are both excited for school to end in a few weeks.

Andy continues to be busy as always. He spent quite a bit of time the last two weeks on finding a new home for the Family Resource Center and if all goes well, the Board of Directors will finalize the purchase of a new building which will enhance the service the organization can provide to the community. Over the last week he was in Reno on Tuesday and Wendover on Wednesday. He finished teaching his class this week. He is glad the summer is almost here.

We hope all is well in your part of the world.
