After a couple of busy weeks, we were ready for a change of pace. Between Matt starting his new job and a few outings with friends, we still managed to keep things interesting without overloading the calendar. Sometimes it’s nice to have a week with no big plans, especially when the weather is doing itsContinue reading “Week 284: Taking it Easy”

Week 283: Belgrade, Serbia
It was a quick week at home after I got back on Monday, but I managed to get through the school and work week without too much trouble. The days are getting shorter fast, and we’re now heading off to work and school in the dark. The weather is getting chillier, too, so it definitelyContinue reading “Week 283: Belgrade, Serbia”
Week 282: Family Weekend
It was a quick week in Germany, but I made the most of it before heading to the USA on Thursday for the holiday weekend. The main reasons for the trip were Towson Family Weekend and a friend’s wedding, which made for a busy few days back in Maryland. Getting there was a bit ofContinue reading “Week 282: Family Weekend”
Week 281: Homecoming
This weekend was Homecoming at Stuttgart High School, which meant an entire week of Spirit Week leading up to it. Even more exciting for Ryan, he finally had his braces removed this week! It has been almost three years of braces, preceded by another two years with a jaw alignment device, so it is stillContinue reading “Week 281: Homecoming”
Week 280: Volksfest!
We kept up with our usual routine this week of having a relatively low key work and school week followed by a very busy weekend. We did break up the routine a little bit on Wednesday when we went to a friend’s house for some after work cocktails. This week’s specialty was blueberry mint ginContinue reading “Week 280: Volksfest!”
Week 279: A Little Bit of Everything
We had another mostly normal week, although Thursday night gave us a nice break from our usual routine. Ryan had his Boy Scout Court of Honor, where the Scouts were recognized for everything they had accomplished over the past six months, and Ryan had a particularly good night. He earned more merit badges than anyoneContinue reading “Week 279: A Little Bit of Everything”
Week 278: Ebenalp, Switzerland
It was another normal week at home, which around here apparently means finding a few hours to squeeze in an adventure somewhere. Friday was my day off, so instead of doing the things I probably should have been doing at home, I decided to cross a few more things off my Germany list. This timeContinue reading “Week 278: Ebenalp, Switzerland”
Week 277: Barcelona and Andorra
It was another fairly quiet week at home, at least until we left for the weekend. School is back in full force, and Ryan has been busy with schoolwork and hanging out with friends. Work has been busy for me as we prepare for the end of the fiscal year at the end of this month, while Matt has been dealing with plenty of back to school IT issues at work. After a relatively uneventful week, we were definitely ready for aContinue reading “Week 277: Barcelona and Andorra”
Week 276: A Quiet Week Back in Germany
It was a pretty quiet week after getting back from the US on Sunday. We made it through another full week of work and school, followed by a low-key weekend at home, although it ended up being a little busier than planned. Friday was my day off, and I had every intention of getting upContinue reading “Week 276: A Quiet Week Back in Germany”
Week 275: Brooklyn’s College Move-In
We just finished up a crazy week, and it somehow managed to include the first day of school for Ryan, a trip to the US, moving Brooklyn into college, time with friends and family, and even a movie! It was a lot packed into one week, but somehow we made it through. The week startedContinue reading “Week 275: Brooklyn’s College Move-In”
