Today Jay is almost 59 inches tall, an inch shy of 5 feet and Vinny is about 42 inches ( 3.5 feet). Vinny is in kindergarten and jay is in second grade. Vinny played soccer and T-ball this year and got an white/orange belt in Taekwondo. Jay played baseball, Flag football and an orange belt in Teakwondo.Vinny's soccer team came 2nd overall in the Crestwood Soccer league and Jay's flag foot ball team is playing a game on sunday to be in the "Super-Bowl" of oakforest flag football league.
Both are good readers and writers and above average in Math. we are so proud of them. As a birthday gift they got a Nintendo Wii which they have been looking forward to have for a long time. They have been exceptionally good, model kids, playful but mindful and good listeners. All of saturday and sunday- their birthdays, we played on the Wii and had the their friends Frankie,Will,Abby, CJ and Walker over to share their birthday fun. We also had the first snow flurries of the year on Oct 26th even though it only lasted a minute or so.
Happy Birthday, our precious gems!
