Grandma and Jim Arrive.

We have enjoyed a wonderful week. Andy's Mom and Jim arrived on Tuesday and that evening there were a few presents to open. Matthew was extremely excited with the Lego Batman he received and you can see that Nikolas was a bit disappointed until he was able to open his present.

Then it was Matthew who thought things were a bit unfair. Nikolas was able to use the clubs while Jim was here. It only took one day until the clubs were moved to Andy's car for safe keeping (Actually to prevent Nikolas from swinging them around the house).

Mom and Jim went with the boys to their school on Wednesday and were a big hit with the stacking cups and drumming they did with Matthew and Nikolas' classes. It was great to have Jim hear as well to the soothing sounds of the King's English (the new england accent). We also got to do some exploring. We drove out to Lamoille a cute little community south of Elko. It sits at the base of the Ruby Mountains. As you can see from the pictures, we in fact do have trees in Northern Nevada. Andy's Mom particularly enjoyed the Presbyterian Church in Lamoille.

Matthew and Jim enjoyed a bit of a snowball fight.

We all sampled some great Basque and Mexican food during the visit. Overall, it was a great visit and even though they left today we really miss them and look forward to seeing them again.

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