What a busy week we had in the Mierins household. The week started off fairly typical, but then got fun on Wednesday.

The boys' babysitter from NH, who now lives in Utah came with her husband and baby for a three day visit. The boys were so excited to see Irene and we had a great time with them. We thought we would add this cute picture of Oscar to our blog. He is getting so big and will soon turn 1. Last year when we went to his blessing, Nikolas was jumping on a bed and fell, receiving a concussion. Thankfully, this trip went safely and everyone, including our family, left in one piece.

Then on Friday evening, a law school friend, Kerri, who now lives in Northern California, stopped by on her way to Utah. Thus, on Friday evening we had 5 additional people in our very tiny apartment, but enjoyed seeing her. We had not seen them since 2002.

Then to top it all off we travelled out to SLC on Saturday to see our good friends, Josh and Becky and their twin boys. We enjoyed spending the afternoon with them and had a great visit. As you can see their boys are getting much bigger Needless to say we are all very tired. We have not done this much socializing and visiting since we arrived.

The boys continue to do well in school. Andy went with Matthew's class on a field trip Thursday morning as his class released trout frye into the Humboldt River. It was quite exciting and Matthew was so glad his Dad was able to go.

Gail and Andy are staying busy as usual. Gail lead a choir Saturday morning and following the performance was approached and asked to become the musical director for a local theater group wanting to do musicals. She was also asked to perform. The smile on her face when she came home said it all.

We hope you are all well. Until next week.
