We have had one busy and exciting week. School is coming to an end and the boys are quite excited by it all. Matthew and Nikolas only have two weeks to go and are quite excited for summer to arrive. Speaking of summer, we experienced some summer like weather the past few days. Since Friday it has been in the upper 80's to the lower 90's and quite pleasant. Everything has fully bloomed and we actually are seeing some green once again. The tops of the mountains still have snow but where the snow has melted, the hillside is green and quite pretty.

The biggest event of the week was of course Gail's birthday. We all think she had a great day, but was sad and had a "I wish we were back in NH day." She was quite overwhelmed with all the well wishers who remembered her birthday, particularly her friends from NH. We went out for dinner to celebrate and all had a nice evening.

We were in Utah again this last weekend, which explains the lateness in posting. We left Friday afternoon about 1 pm and made our first stop in Tooele so Gail could do a Pampered Chef show at her sister's, which seemed to go quite well. We then headed to Cedar Hills to our friend's from NH, where we spent the night. We all stayed up to late visiting, but it was a great visit. Gail and Paula put on a wonderful baby shower for yet another of our NH expatriate friend's Irene. The boys and Andy played outside and went to the local Cabela's to check out the fish tanks and animal displays. The boys really enjoyed the indoor trout pond. Saturday night we were off the Logan, to see Irene and her new baby, Oscar, who was being blessed Sunday morning. Logan was beautiful and we may consider living there some day. All went well and we were home by 7pm, quite tired and ready for bed. As I said, we had a great weekend.

We hope everyone is well and send our best until next week.
