Seems just yesterday I was announcing that I was a grandfather.

The twins are nine now. You should see them play baseball. They only weigh 52 pounds but both of them can hit a baseball 150 feet. They both throw hard and accurate. They play short and second; and they can turn a double play consistently. Pretty unusual for that age. They may be even better at basketball; even though they are the two shortest guys out there. My grandmother was 4'10", so they came by it honestly. Last game I attended Cade stole the ball 12 times, and fed his brother Brian for consistent layups. They accounted for 20 of their team's 24 points. They play on a regulation court with a 10 foot hoop. Believe it or not, they can hit 3 pointers pretty consistently. They are so small, no one goes out to guard them at that 3 point line.

I bought an air rifle so they could target practice. Both have gotten really good. When we first started, I always won the competition; not any more. Brian rarely misses dead center by more than a 1/4 inch from 30 feet.

Here is Cade with the Doe he took down today & Brian with the 10 point Buck he got last night. Brian also got a Doe yesterday. I am not a hunter (their step dad and their other granddad took them hunting) but think the boys are doing pretty well for age 9.
