OUIMETTE NEWSBITS
Ron celebrated his birthday this past month.  Laura arranged to have the hardwood floors refinished in the living room, dining room, and hallway for his birthday.
Laura took Jake and the kids to live with Grandma and Grandpa Bender for a week and Ron was on business in NJ while the floors were being done.  They look great, but now the kitchen floor really could use replacing.
School continues to go well for Jeffery and Bethan.  Jeffery is excited about the Oddysey of the Mind program and Bethan has been reading to Daddy before bed at night.  Thomas and Jake have become good buddies with food and eating a central focus in thier lives.
