Summer is about to begin

Well, despite this being Memorial Day Weekend, the unofficial start of summer, the outside indicators would tell you otherwise. After some very warm weather, things cooled off this week. We shouldn't complain, it has been in the 60's during the day, but we were enjoying the warmer weather. We also have had some rain, which is sort of odd. Most "rain storms" last 2-3 minutes, but we actually have had some sustained showers. One morning there was even water running in the gutters.

As a family all continues to go well. We have added a photo from last weekend of Matthew and Nikolas holding Oscar. We all did have a great weekend and despite our scare with Nikolas were glad we got to get away.


On Saturday we took the boys to see the #12 Alltel race car which was here in Elko. Nikolas and Matthew had a chance to change a tire on the car. The company set up a display for the kids to try out and Nikolas did a great job, with a bit of help from Gail and one of the crew members. Matthew gave it a try and was very quick.

We were going to go visit Gail's family over this long weekend, but due to a bit of sickness, we were unable to go. Despite this we really enjoyed the weekend together as a family. There was supposed to be a country fair Saturday as well but we could never find it. We did discover a fruit and vegetable stand that had some great fresh fruit. We also bought a mini grill and have begun grilling again. The entire family really enjoys this, particularly Andy.

The boys are excited for their last week of school. Both will be out on Friday, which seems quite amazing, but the kids do not get off as much time in the winter as they had in NH. Matthew has had a bit of a stomach bug, which we cannot figure out what is wrong. Hopefully, it will resolve itself, but we may need a trip to the doctor.

Gail had a busy week. She was able to do a Pampered Chef show and finally after a few months things are really picking up and Gail has quite a few shows coming up over the next few weeks. Gail has cut back a bit of her cleaning which has her home two more nights a week. This past week was the first week of the modified schedule and it was great.

That about sums up our week. We hope you are all well and hope you have a wonderful week.
