Another interesting week has come and gone. This last one came in like a lion (we had snowy, 30 degree weather) and went out like a lamb, with sunshine and 60's. Not complaining, just amazed at what a difference a week can make. We all continue to do quite well.

Nikolas is getting ready to start baseball practice on Monday. He is on the Durham Bulls and excited to begin. Matthew continues to defend the world against alien invasion and other mythical creatures. He has a creative imagination and love him for it.

Gail and Andy are busy as always. Andy was in Las Vegas from Thursday until Sunday attending a conference on forensic science. He reports the conference was help at the Cosmopolitan and he reports it was fascinating. He said they got started by 8am and went to 6:30 each day, so it did not leave much time for anything else. He was hoping to get to the temple while in LV, but did not make it.

That about sums up our week. We hope all is well with you.

This was an excellent week. We received the most amount of snow we had this winter over the last two days. Thankfully it is a spring snow so it should melt in the next few days. Everyone is also home safe and sound.

Andy was in Las Vegas Friday to Sunday to attend a board meeting for Nevada Legal Services. While there he met up with his Uncle Charlie and had a great visit. He said it was one of those visits you did not want to end and was sad when over. Andy was able to record some family history, particularly the journey taken when Andy's Father's family left Latvia. He was glad to have spent the time.

Nikolas had baseball tryouts on Saturday and is waiting to find out which team he will be on. All else is great, we hope the same for you.

What a wonderful past week this has been. Gail's sister Janelle, her husband and daughter were here for a visit. We enjoyed the time we spent with them, especially having Kailee with us. She is a wonderful addition to our family. Otherwise it was a fairly typical week in the Mierins' household. Nikolas is getting ready to play baseball and the rest of us carry on with our normal routines. We are all healthy, happy and doing great. We hope the same for you.

We had a wintry week like many of you. It snowed on and off from Tuesday to Thursday, but once it stopped it all melted. The good thing is the snow in the mountains which is what we need. Other than a bit of an inconvenience, it was not that bad.

All of us continue to do well. The boys are getting ready for spring. Nikolas is ready to play some baseball and he got the basketball inflated and has been outside shooting hoops. Matthew is ready to start collecting bugs. We are happy that both are doing well.

Gail and Andy are pretty much the same. Andy went into SLC with some friends Friday to be in the temple as someone he knows went through the temple and was sealed to his wife and children. He said it was fantastic.

We hope all is well with you.

We continue to do quite well here in the Nevada desert. Matthew and Nikolas have shown great progress this year in school. Progress reports were sent this week and Nikolas has moved back inside from the dog house, Matthew gets to keep his place inside. We are proud of both of them. Nikolas is gearing up for baseball.

Andy and Gail continue to be busy as always. We were glad to have a day off Monday. We enjoy the time we can be together. Not much else to report. Hope all is well with you.

What a fast week this has been. We are amazed how mild of a winter we have had. We did get some snow this week, but like previous snowfalls, it melted by the end of the day. We are not complaining, just amazed at how lucky we have been.

Gail got to have some fun this week. She and a friend traveled to Utah to see a play, shop and have a break. Andy missed her. He left Thursday for Wendover, she left Friday and will be back together this evening.

The boys continue to do well. All is great in the Mierins' home and we hope the same for you.

We had a wonderful week. Nikolas finished his science fair project. His project involved whether sand or gravel would hold more weight. He used tubes filed with both and then placed weight on top until the tubes collapsed. We are quite proud of his research.

Matthew was off to a merit badge pow-wow this week and accomplished several requirements. He is showing improvement in school and doing well.

Andy and Gail are busy as always. We hope all is well with you.
