OUIMETTE NEWSBITS
The new school year is off to a great start.  Jeffery is in 5th grade with Mrs. Samatulski.  He is enjoying his participation on the First Lego Robotics team and takes pride in his new role with Safety Patrol at school.  He is still playing viola and piano and singing in the school chorus and church choir. Bethan is excited to be in Mrs. Julie Marie Smith's 2nd grade class.  She is continuing in piano and church choir as well as working towards her first communion this coming spring.  Thomas is enjoying Together Time, Bible School, and swim lessons, as well as watching all of the excitement in our neighborhood.  Ron has been happy working on his cars in the barn and taking hikes close to home here in the Finger Lakes.  Laura has enjoyed visits from college friends and hopes more folks will drop by and stay awhile.  Jake has been quite healthy since the siezure incident but is missing his best friend, Maya, who has gone to Utah to visit with one of her sons.

Cousin Eli makes national news!
In the August 3rd edition of PEOPLE magazine on page 91, Cousin ELI is pictured helping out with an Alex's Lemonade Stand.  Cousins Grace actually did most of the work for the Lemonade stand, but the PEOPLE photographers caught Eli and his pals with the camera.  Clicking the logo takes you to their website >>
