NEWS AND BIRTHDAYS
RETURN TO HOMEPAGE
OUIMETTE NEWS BITS

May was a beautiful month here in the Canandaigua area.  We had lots of sun and beautiful bushes loaded with blooming forsythia, lilacs, and hydrangia.

Jeffery is doing well with his piano and school work while Bethan enjoys her swimming lessons and playing out in the back yard every chance she gets. 

The "baby in Mommy's belly" is doing very well and does a lot of moving around.  We're getting excited to find out whether Jeffery or Bethan will be sharing their room with the new baby come September. 

Ron and Laura have continued house hunting for more space allowing Ron's work and our living to coincide peacefully together.  It's been tough job finding something bigger without giving up our yard space or neighborhood. 

Laura planted the vegetable garden later than usual this year, but it's in and doing just fine.  Finally, by  the first of June the flower gardens got a bit of attention too.

Ron will travel to Otto Bock in Germany this month.  He is also looking forward to a tour of Volkswagon.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!
Big news for Mason and his family.  The adoption of his big sister is in the works (thanks to financial help from the Select Comfort mattrees folks).  If all goes smoothly, Lauren Esperanza who is 9 years old, will be home with her brothers and parents later this year.

Mason  had his cord blood transplant on February 9th (to help eliminate health problems caused by the Waikott-Aldrich Syndrome).   He has been mostly home and doing well in Oklahoma with regular visits to Fort Worth.  Laura's cousin, Carol, does an excellent job keeping folks updated through a CAREPAGE
(www.carepages.com for MasonFernando).
Your thoughts prayers are most greatly appreciated.
There's a link to a blog for Mason on the homepage.
