Andy is the first of the twins and is 17. He beat his sister into this world by 2 minutes and almost 2 pounds. He is big into football and lacrosse and spends his winter months keeping in shape for those two sports. He earned his Arrow of Light in March of 1998 but no longer attends Boy Scout meetings. He is definitely my sports fanatic as far as the boys are concerned: football in the fall, and lacrosse in the spring. Fall of 1999 his team was undefeated! He now plays Varsity football and his team is 2-0 for Fall 2004. He managed to take his road test in September of 2003 and is now a licensed driver. He is also working at the local Giant grocery store.
Elise is the younger of the twins but still 17. Much to my joy, she has stayed as petite as she was when she was born. She was active in Girl Scouts, but stopped attending meetings shortly after becoming a Cadette. She plays the violin quite well, having made all-county orchestra in 1998. In 2001, she gave up the violin for chorus in school. Vocal music is truly her passion and it has shown outside of school with her participation in the adult choir at church and helping with the children's choir. The year she was in eighth grade, the middle school orchestra was short on violas so Elise took it up and picked up the instrument rather quickly. Summer of '99 she participated in a technology camp for young women at IBM-Endicott. She is starting to be more sports-minded. She ran modified cross country and track in seventh and eighth grade and did fantastic!!!! She has decided that she is going to be a teacher and so we are looking at colleges that have elementary education. In the fall of 2004, she will be a senior at Maine-Endwell High School as well as a student at Binghamton University.
Susan is the 16 year old high school junior. She plays premier level soccer during the travel season with the BC United Blackout and is a starter on the varsity team at school for the third year.
