Here's the short version of "Howdy! We're the Gates Family!"

Me, I'm Mike, a.k.a. Dad.

Taylor's my eldest--she's 9. Taylor loves action movies, especially

Batman. Taylor is in Special Olympics, and is one of the most cheerful

people you will ever want to meet.

Lauren's my youngest--she's 7. Lauren is my little social butterfly.

Lauren is also the family twinkletoes... She started ballet lessons last fall,

and tells me that her teacher says she is the best leaper in the class.

Our other family members include Mac the Big Fat Cat, and Bug (another cat--

a real hussy, too...), and our box turtles, Tina and Turbo.

We sing and dance and make a lot of noise at the Gates house.

We're silly and goofy and we laugh a lot.
