Laura's cousin, Jeanette, came for a visit from her new home in Fort Drum.  Thomas met his second cousin, Isaac, who was born September 1, 2006. 
Great to have a playmate the same size.

OUIMETTE NEWS BITS
Thomas has four more teeth to make a total of six so far.  He's crawling forward and enjoys his new swing and the playpen.  Laura's hoping to enjoy more stroller rides with Thomas (and Jake if he'll cooperate).  Jake is a master at getting any passer-by to throw his ball for him over and over again.  We've met many new people this way.
Bethan is excited about her debut as Chick #3 in the Little Red Hen musical that her preschool class will perform later in May.  She decided to cut her own hair this past week and now has an "ultra thin, locks 6 inches shorter than most" style.
Jeffery celebrated his first communion on April 21st.  He continues to do a super job in second grade and we're having a tough time getting him to put down the chapter books before 10 pm most nights.  He and Bethan both really enjoy their bikes, especially with Daddy.  Ron's anxious to get the lawn mower out.  He got to mow the front yard but needs to wait for the backyard ponds to dry out before he can go on.
April showers bring May flowers,
...and a green Christmas brings
a white Easter!
