What a wonderful week it has been. The biggest news was that Andy passed the Nevada Bar Exam, giving us some sense of security. He has a temporary license, but had to successfully pass the NV bar exam before October 2009. He will probably be sworn in within the next few weeks and hopefully we will have a picture to post. The results came out on Wednesday and what a relief it was for everyone.

In addition to this great news Andy won on two issues this week in Court. Thursday he won a motion hearing forcing the State to produce a witness in an upcoming trial. The witness was a phlebotomist who drew blood on Andy's client. NV has a statute allowing the introduction of an affidavit, without the witness and Andy challenged it on constitutional grounds. He was excited about this, then on Friday he had a long hearing concerning whether one of his juvenile clients should be certified as an adult. The end result was the judge ruled against the State and the juvenile will be adjudicated in the juvenile system. Andy was especially glad.

Andy and Gail went out twice this week to celebrate.

Gail continues to do quite well and slowly but surely the Pampered Chef business is picking up. Gail is also serving as the music director of a local theater group and she had her 1st meeting concerning the upcoming performances. She is quite excited to find an outlet for her talents.

Matthew and Nikolas are counting down the days until school is out. In 4 weeks the boys will be done. Matthew continues to work on his Lego project. The command center is looking quite commanding. Nikolas is enjoying baseball more and more. His Monday game did not go so well. He was 0-3, and struck out twice with the bases loaded, but like a good athlete he didn't let it get him down and he roared back for Saturday's game going 2-3, with 2 RBIs, his BA is now .353. We are all so very proud of him.
