After high school Nikki took a short sabbatical to Colorado Springs and stayed with Trevor for about a year. She enjoyed getting to know her big brother again, and according to Mom it was good for all four Masons.

Kyle is looking forward to fishing in local waters again, and after having spent his first winter in Utah in many, many, years is very much looking forward to the warmth of summer. Pauline is hanging in there as well as she can. Unfortunately time and age has caught up with her and she is now in need of round-the-clock care. She loves to receive visitors and reminisce about the old times.
