No sooner had I commented on the fact we had no snow on the ground, than we received a storm that as of today most has melted. The snow was welcomed though because it provides water in the mountains. The boys thought maybe snow day, but it was not that good of a storm.

Not much else happened this week out of the normal routine of school and work. So not much else to report. We hope all is well.

We finally got a bit of snow this week, but mostly rain. We are happy about this because the mountains got the snow which is good for our water supply, but we do not have to deal with the shoveling and poorly plowed roads. We may actually go the whole winter without any sustained snow on the ground.

The week was fairly typical with nothing spectacular. We enjoyed being home together on Monday with the holiday. The boys went to school and Andy and Gail worked the remainder of the week. Andy did go to Wendover on Friday, otherwise it was a typical week.

We hope all is well.

Another great week has gone by in the Mierins's family. Much the same as most weeks. The boys were in school, Gail and Andy worked. The most exciting thing to occur this week was Matthew starting guitar lessons. He says the first was great. Not much else to report. Hope all is well wherever you may be.

It was back to our normal routine this week and the transition went smooth. Tuesday the boys went back to school, Andy went back to work and Gail threw a party Christmas break was over. We enjoyed the time we had together.

On Monday we went as a family to see "War Horse." We all thought it excellent. We are glad there are still good family movies being made. Everyone, but Gail, is excited we finally have morning church. The first two months we were here we had 9 am church, then either due to chnages or moving we had 11 am or 1pm, starting last week we now start at 9 am.

Not much else to report. We hope all is well.

Happy New Year to all our friends and family. We hope 2012 is great for you.

The Mierins family had a great week. We were all home and enjoyed each others company. Matthew and Nikolas essentially played their respective video games all week, but did put them down long enough to go on an overnight trip to SLC with Andy. Gail relished in her time at home with peace and quiet. The boys went to the Clark Planetarium, did some shopping, ate sushi and spent the night at a friend's home we know from law school. They left Tuesday morning and came back Wednesday night.

We pretty much spent the week playing games, watching movies and spending time together. School starts again Tuesday and then it is back to the grind. Gail thinks Tuesday will not come soon enough and the boys think they were robbed by such a short vacation.

Friday evening we had the Mierins' Family Holiday Festival. It was great to gather with some of our friends. Andy spent the day cooking which he enjoyed and everyone seem to have a good time. We have plenty of left overs, so we are set for lunch and dinner for the next several days.

Saturday was clean up day and we managed to get all the decorations down, cleaned up and boxed up for next year. This has been a great Christmas. We hope all is well with you.
