Week 256: Springtime in Germany!

Last week flew by, as usual! After we got back from Ireland late on Sunday night, we had to drag ourselves out of bed for work and school on Monday morning. On Wednesday, Ryan’s baseball team had a scrimmage against a local team, the Herrenberg Wanderers. The team is only about twenty minutes south ofContinue reading “Week 256: Springtime in Germany!”

Week 255: Exploring Ireland

We kicked off the week right where we left off in Kinsale, still in the middle of our ten-day road trip through Ireland with our friends from the U.S. After a quick breakfast in Kinsale, we hit the road toward our next stop: Killarney National Park. The drive took us along some incredibly narrow, windingContinue reading “Week 255: Exploring Ireland”

Week 254: Kicking off Spring Break in Dublin

Spring is definitely here, and it’s visible everywhere. It feels like every tree and bush is in full bloom. Daffodils are popping up all over, and the tulips are just starting to peek through. The scenery has been absolutely gorgeous, but oddly, it’s still been quite cold. Temperatures have barely climbed out of the 40s,Continue reading “Week 254: Kicking off Spring Break in Dublin”

Week 253: Final Week of March

Another week has flown by, and after our trip to England last weekend, we stayed a bit closer to home this week. The weather has been warming up, the flowering trees are in full bloom, and the birds are back. I really love this time of year in Germany. The regular week flew by inContinue reading “Week 253: Final Week of March”

Week 252: Quick Trip to England

Another week has flown right by! Brooklyn spent Monday through Wednesday in Luxembourg at a science conference at the University of Luxembourg. Of course, even after I specifically asked her to take pictures, she came home with exactly one of her waiting for an Uber Eats delivery. Teenagers! She said she had a great time,Continue reading “Week 252: Quick Trip to England”

Week 251: Another Full Week at Home!

This week felt long and stressful for everyone. Work and school have kept us all busy, and after-school activities have filled our evenings. The kids are in baseball and softball, Matt has been going to the gym, and I’ve had German class. The weather has been cold but sunny, and we’ve really enjoyed the extraContinue reading “Week 251: Another Full Week at Home!”

Week 250: Finally- A Week at Home!

It’s been a long time since we’ve all been home for a full week and weekend and we had a nice, slow, low-key week. With no sports on the weekend schedule either, we enjoyed a blissfully relaxing time together. On Wednesday, the sun started peaking through the clouds for just about the first time thisContinue reading “Week 250: Finally- A Week at Home!”

Week 249: Ski Amade and Schloss Lieser

We had a quiet week at home! Unfortunately some maintenance issues at work had us working from home this week until they could be resolved. I definitely enjoyed not having to wake up, get ready, and drive in every day! It’s also a school holiday this week in most of Europe (although not for theContinue reading “Week 249: Ski Amade and Schloss Lieser”

Week 248: Brooklyn’s Birthday and Skiing in the Trois Vallées

We had a busy, packed week! I’d just gotten back from the Olympics the night before and stayed up late with Matt decorating for Brooklyn’s birthday. We decorated everything in pink and gold, her favorite colors, with balloons and streamers everywhere. It turned out so cute! Thankfully, my friend Susan was still staying with usContinue reading “Week 248: Brooklyn’s Birthday and Skiing in the Trois Vallées”

Week 247: The Winter Olympics

I went to the Olympics this weekend! But first, I had to get through the week, it was quick and quiet. I had originally taken Friday off to attend the Wrestling Championship, but since neither kid ended up going, I found myself with a free day. The weather was gloomy, so I took the perfectContinue reading “Week 247: The Winter Olympics”
