We had a fairly quick week. The boys continue to go to school and Gail and Andy continue to work. Andy did not work Monday as his leg was still in bad shape. He is doing better now, but the problem has not cleared up completely. He has spent a good amount of time with his leg elevated. He did return to work on Tuesday and did his best to stay off of the leg.

The boys continue to do well in school and seem to have had a good start. Matthew receives weekly grade reports and after two weeks his grades are all A's and B's. We are so very proud of him. Nikolas has taken a liking to baseball and is excited to play this year. Nearly every day he is outside playing catch. He has even recruited Andy to toss the ball to him occasionally. Without suprise we got our first call from the Principal this week. Nikolas apparently was not happy with a boy who would not stop bugging him, so Nikolas took matters into his own hands.

This weekend was the Elko County Fair, so Friday there was no school and Andy's office closed at 12 pm. It is a county holiday called "Fair Day." We were going to go to the fair on Friday, but it was still pretty warm (90's), so we went on Saturday. The main highlight of the fair is the horse races. We saw one, but it didn't catch the boys interest, so we did not stay long. The fair is not big and took us less than 2 hours to see everything (this includes the obligatory stop at the fair food stands). We all enjoyed the animals and home crafts. Matthew and Nikolas found out there is a Lego contest, so next year each will enter their own creations. Nikolas cried on the way home because he only got to do the boring things and never gets to do anything fun.

Despite it being very warm Friday and Saturday (mid 90's), the interesting thing is on Monday it is supposed to only be in the 60's with snow in the mountains. Quite a contrast.

That sums up our week. We hope all is well wherever you may be.
