It's been a few years since I published to this blog but I'm toying with bringing it out of retirement. For many years I enjoyed using Facebook as a way to interact with my community and to log the funny details of our lives, but lately I find myself posting to Facebook less and less.  But I hate to lose that record of our anecdotes.

So here's what we're all up to at the moment:

Dwight is still playing basketball several times a week - when he's not injured from having played basketball. He's recently taken up playing pickleball.  Other favorite pastimes are WarZone and playing music - especially with his band.

My main social activity has been attending volleyball tournaments with the girls. It's a good thing I enjoy hanging out with other volleyball parents because I've spent a lot of time doing that in recent years. Luckily I have a high threshold for the required travel and noisy environment.

Oskar is in his second year of college studying Computer Science and possibly a minor in Linguistics. When he's not reading up on historical linguistics, he also enjoys playing video games with his buddies and playing guitar.Annika is a freshman in college. She spends most of her free time playing volleyball (and working out). I'm guessing she also spends a lot of hours on Facetime with her boyfriend Sam. She's planning to study Mechanical Engineering.Kiersten is a senior and trying to figure out where she might like to go to college. She plans to study Computer Science and perhaps English. She's the president of the Computer Science Honor Society and an officer in the French Honor Society. She spends most of her time working on homework - alas - but when she has a little free time, she loves playing video games. She also loves to read but has a hard time finding time for it with her rigorous academic schedule.Kardynn is a sophomore. She's interested in pursing a career in Education. She' plays JV Volleyball at her high school. She just got her learner's permit. She also enjoys playing video games. She's our pop music buff and can sing along with any One Direction, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Taylor Swift song (and probably other artists that I'm forgetting).
