This past week was very quiet in more respects than one. Tuesday morning Matthew and Nikolas flew out to NH with Andy's mom for a visit with Grandma. We have received daily updates by e-mail with some pictures. The first one shows Matthew and Nikolas are climbing on the Tilton Arch, which was located close to where we lived in Northfield. The second shows Matthew having a good time with Jim kayaking. We think it is on the Merrimack River. We have enjoyed their updates and are looking forward to their return just before school begins. It is amazing to think that in 2 weeks the boys start school again. The summer has sure flown by.

Things have been quite since the boys left. Gail and Andy have gone on a date nearly every night, including to the Nevada Dinner House, which the have decided is the best of the Basque restaurants in Elko. They had a movie night that worked out well. Gail went to see "Mama Mia" and Andy went to see " The Dark Knight", followed by a bit of pizza. Friday evening was the county picnic for all Elko County Employees which was nice. Saturday night they both stayed home. Gail tackled cleaning and re-arranging the boys bedroom which turned out to be quite a project.

Andy continues to be quite busy with work. Gail has had a good week and she continues to have Pampered Chef parties, doing one Saturday morning. While Mom and Dad have enjoyed a bit of time alone, we both miss the boys and will be glad to see them again.

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