The Update

We apologize to those who regularly check our blog for the delay in posting. We were gone last weekend and before we knew it another week had come and gone.



On the 16th Gail and Andy were off to Las Vegas to attend a conference put on by the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. The conference was held at Caesar's Palace, but we stayed at Circus Circus. Our trip started out rather eventful as we were only on the road 10 minutes and had a flat tire. 3 1/2 hours later we were on our way and despite having a 7 hour drive all else went well. Andy reports the conference was fantastic and he came away with a bunch of new information. While there we went to see The Bodies exhibit at the Luxor. Very fascinating. The exhibit consists of bodies and body parts preserved and on display explaining how the various functions of the body work. We really were impressed with the exhibit on the circulatory system. It is amazing how many blood vessels, capillaries and veins there are in the body.

While in Las Vegas we also had a chance to visit with Andy's Uncle Charlie. It was nice to see him. We also saw our friends James and Heather who were know from NH. In addition to the Luxor, we went to the Bellagio to see the water fountains. It was neat and beautiful. Gail's favorite part, other than getting to sleep in until noon each day was going to see Mama Mia at Mandalay Bay. It was a good show and we were able to get some decent seats. Gail even tried Thai food and admitted it is pretty good. We had a wonderful time.

While Gail and Andy were away the boys had a chance to spend time with their Grandma and Grandpa. Grandma came down on Tuesday and the boys went to Idaho Friday. They came home very excited. The best thing according to Matthew was the spicy hot Cheetos he brought home.

All else is going well. We are enjoying the autumn in Northeast Nevada. It is still in the 80's during the day but at night dips into the 30's. The mountains are pretty and we enjoyed some nice foliage. The boys continue to do well in school, Gail keeps busy with Pampered Chef and Andy still enjoys his job. We are all happily adjusting.

Hope all is well wherever you are in the world.
