Saturday

K talked with Babcia again.

The Boy had another soccer game, which they won 6-2.

And spring is everywhere.

Found a never-posted video.

Is it a cheat

to say I’m sick and go to bed?

Orlando Return

The girls spent the weekend in Orlando at the — guess! You’ll never guess — Sunshine Qualifier volleyball tournament, and K was sending me pictures the whole time, but I neglected to post them here.

“This might be the last time you’re here,” L told K when K was talking about all the food options there, “so enjoy it!”

Last time K is there? Well, I am taking her to Nationals in Orlando in June, but what about next year?

Truth be told, this might very well be the last club season for us. If L doesn’t get a volleyball-based scholarship, there will be very little motivation to spend the time and money next year. Does this mean she’s giving up on her dream? Not really—academic scholarships have always been more likely (the girl is ranked 11 in a class of 400+ students) and she’s never experienced anything other than success in school. I think her lowest grade of high school is a 94 or 95.

Sunday

Soccer

A 2-0 win, so now the team is 1-1-1.

Leap Day

I was very surprised for a moment when checking the Time Machine widget at the bottom of the site: only four entries for this day?! And then I remembered the date.

And realized one of the entries had to do with the kitchen remodel Babcia and Dziadek decided to do when K and I got engaged. They'd planned to do something else with the money, but in the end, they went for the remodel. "If we're going to have guests from the States..." I seem to recall Dziadek explaining.

Looking at that picture, I think how much younger Babcia looked. It was twenty years ago, and it hits me: in this picture, she's only a handful of years older than I am now. And the last two decades have simply floated by without any effort and little notice.

And the next two decades?
