| OUIMETTE NEWS BITS Our lives are fitting back into a routine as school is well underway and Laura is able to get out and about after a case of cabin fever set in. Ron switched territories for work from Western PA to New Jersey so he's been traveling more to the southeast instead of southwest. He still has upstate NY. Jeffery is enjoying second grade. He's doing a great job with his piano lessons learning Ode To Joy and The Entertainer. He's participated in a touch football program on Saturday mornings at the neighborhood park and has begun singing with the church choir. Bethan is doing splendidly in preschool and is also back swimming at the Y. Thomas continues to grow bigger and stronger and is spending more time awake and alert than asleep. He's grown out of the preemie diapers and into newborn! Morgan is a fine low maintanance 14 year old lab, while Jake in his puppy adolescence often demands our attentions. Still no decisions on our housing situation, so our address remains the same. |

| Mason had his cord blood transplant on February 9th (to help eliminate health problems caused by the Waikott-Aldrich Syndrome). He turned 2 on September 17th and has begun walking! Laura's cousin, Carol, does an excellent job keeping folks updated through a CAREPAGE (www.carepages.com for MasonFernando). Cousin Carol, Scott, and Parker made a visit to see Lauren this past month. Please keep Lauren in your prayers that she may come "home" by Christmas. Your thoughts prayers are most greatly appreciated. There's a link to a blog for Mason on the homepage. |
