He has a really cute hair line and he was about 11lbs (he is 6 weeks or something). He is very soft and smells good. I have read a lot of books to him and he pays attention. I think when he gets older his favorite color is going to be blue, my favorite color is green. I also think he is going to have brown eyes like me! He is the best brother in the world! Well he is now I can't say <em>he's</em> the best brother in the world in case my mom has another boy. He is the best brother for now.

It is going to turn out great! I am supposed to finish it today but I don't think I will. I think I am going to keep it. I like to knit because it's fun and gives me something to do. I am also knitting two scarfs right now. I am doing a knitting class at the library they are the people who taught me how to knit a hat. Some day I would like to knit a sweater, if I get good enough I will.<br>News lettertag:ravenb.com,2010-01-25:ef84af28-7c04-4bcc-bb04-16017fb56355Raven2010-01-25T16:06:00Z2010-01-25T16:06:00Z<br><div class="Section1"><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal" align="center"><o:p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"> </font></o:p></p><div><table vspace="0" align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" hspace="0"><tbody><tr><td style="border: medium none rgb(236, 233, 216); padding: 0in; background-color: transparent;" align="left" valign="top"><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; page-break-after: avoid; line-height: 41.35pt; vertical-align: baseline;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 53.5pt;">W<o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal" align="center"><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t144" path="al10800,10800,10800,10800@2@14e" adj="11796480" o:spt="144" coordsize="21600,21600"><v:formulas><v:f eqn="val #1"></v:f><v:f eqn="val #0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum 0 0 #0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sumangle #0 0 180"></v:f><v:f eqn="sumangle #0 0 90"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @4 2 1"></v:f><v:f eqn="sumangle #0 90 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @6 2 1"></v:f><v:f eqn="abs #0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sumangle @8 0 90"></v:f><v:f eqn="if @9 @7 @5"></v:f><v:f eqn="sumangle @10 0 360"></v:f><v:f eqn="if @10 @11 @10"></v:f><v:f eqn="sumangle @12 0 360"></v:f><v:f eqn="if @12 @13 @12"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @14"></v:f><v:f eqn="val 10800"></v:f><v:f eqn="cos 10800 #0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sin 10800 #0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @17 10800 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @18 10800 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum 10800 0 @17"></v:f><v:f eqn="if @9 0 21600"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum 10800 0 @18"></v:f></v:formulas><v:path o:connectlocs="10800,@22;@19,@20;@21,@20" o:connecttype="custom" textpathok="t"></v:path><v:textpath fitpath="t" on="t"></v:textpath><v:handles><v:h polar="10800,10800" position="@16,#0"></v:h></v:handles><o:lock shapetype="t" text="t" v:ext="edit"></o:lock></v:shapetype><v:shape style="width: 287.25pt; height: 24.75pt;" id="_x0000_i1025" fillcolor="black" type="#_x0000_t144"><v:shadow color="#868686"></v:shadow><v:textpath style="font-family: 'Arial Black'; font-size: 18pt;" string="Raven's Newsletter" trim="t" fitshape="t"></v:textpath></v:shape></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><font size="3">elcometo the second edition of the Raven’s Newsletter.

It is where youare in a person named Ellen dream. Where she goes back in time and inthe ocean and other neat places. My favorite part about Magic Kingdomwas Space Mountain. It is a ride where you are in a dark place goingreally fast! The best part about Holly Wood Studios was Tower ofTerror. It is a ride where you go on an elevator and go up and thendrop down. My favorite part about Animal Kingdom is ExpeditionEverest. Which I explained before. I got a lot of autographs fromDisney characters.
