This past week it has been absolutely beautiful in Northeastern Nevada. The sky is so blue and with no clouds it is neat. We all had a busy week. Matthew began summer school and he was quite excited about that. He continues to struggle a bit, but this week we all attended a meeting of the Northeastern Nevada Autism Network and met some other families dealing with this, which was very helpful. Andy and Gail learned quite a bit. The boys are enjoying their summer. Nikolas attended a sleepover on Friday night at a friend's house in Spring Creek. He came home Saturday and reported he played X-Box and got to shoot a BB gun. Matthew attended cub scout day camp on Saturday. He came home reporting he did archery, shoot BB guns and even made a marshmallow gun that was neat. He seemed to have a great time. While matthew was at cub scout camp, Nikolas and I enjoyed some time at the pool and he actually swam a bit. He is making some great progress.

Andy had a busy week, mostly as he prepares to begin representing the juvenile cases that will begin on July 1. He spent quite a bit of time at the juvenile court observing and speaking with various people in the county involved with the programs.

We had a nice visit with Gail's Dad, Uncle, Brother and Brother In Law on Friday evening. They were all hear for the Rumble in the Rubie, which is a motorcycle rally. It takes place downtown Elko and was neat. Gail, Andy and Nikolas went over on Saturday afternoon and walked around. Nikolas got to go on a ride in a motorcycle and he said "it was fun." The rides were given as a fundraiser for children's neurological research. Andy went back that evening for an outdoor concert featuring the band Nazareth. The best way to describe it was a quote he brought back. There was a biker standing next to him who repeatedly yelled "You guys kicked "#$%" in '78, and you still kick "@#$" now." I do not think anyone under the age of 40 really appreciated the show and the only people really into it were those old enough to have probably bought their albums in the 70's. Andy reported the show was good.

That about sums up our week. Hope you all are doing well.
