Week 151: It’s April!

This week started out in a blur! We got back Monday night from Italy and immediately had to head into work and school Tuesday morning; we were all exhausted! We had not stayed in any AirBnbs over the course of our trip so the laundry really piled up. We had about ten loads to doContinue reading “Week 151: It’s April!”

Week 150: Spring Break in Italy, Part 2!

Part two of our Spring Break trip picked up right where we left off in Siena! Wednesday morning, we packed up the car and departed our hotel. Our ultimate destination was Rome, but we had a few stops planned along the way. The weather was still drizzly, but not pouring rain anymore. Our first stopContinue reading “Week 150: Spring Break in Italy, Part 2!”

Week 150: Spring Break in Italy, Part 1!

It’s finally Spring Break! We had a hard time choosing where to go this year. Originally, we had booked a Red Sea Cruise to Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Sadly, this was cancelled due to current events in the region so it was back to the drawing board. I actually had several hotels booked acrossContinue reading “Week 150: Spring Break in Italy, Part 1!”

Week 149: End of the 3rd Quarter

Before I say anything about this week, I’ve realized I said nothing last week about what the kids and Matt were up to over last weekend while I was in the US! Ryan had another Boy Scouts camp-out called ‘The Wood Burner,’ which focused on wilderness survivalism skills; using only wood for cooking and heat,Continue reading “Week 149: End of the 3rd Quarter”

Week 148: My New Nephew!

I’ve been falling really behind in posting updates! The weekends are just so busy; I don’t have time to get everything in at once. Two weeks ago, my new nephew, Nix was born. At that time, I was already two weeks late in writing updates so I did not put it in but he isContinue reading “Week 148: My New Nephew!”

Week 147: Soccer and Koblenz

This week started out with more sickness! On Monday, Brooklyn still wasn’t feeling well from being sick over the weekend, and on Tuesday, Ryan joined her. Apparently, everyone is sick because we weren’t able to get an appointment at Urgent Care until Tuesday, despite calling first thing Monday morning. Both kids ended up missing twoContinue reading “Week 147: Soccer and Koblenz”

Week 146: Ischgl, Austria!

Another week has flown by; I guess that’s the way it is when you are gone every weekend like we have been! We have not even been completely unpacking our bags, just leaving them open and adding and taking things out during the week. Softball tryouts were this week for Brooklyn, so she spent everyContinue reading “Week 146: Ischgl, Austria!”

Week 145: Skiing in Austria; St. Anton and Ski Amade!

After arriving back home from Chamonix Monday night, we had a quiet week at home, which was heaven after rushing around the last few weeks. We have been going non-stop since my parents’ arrival and needed to catch up on things around the house and sleep. Softball tryouts start for Brooklyn next week, so thisContinue reading “Week 145: Skiing in Austria; St. Anton and Ski Amade!”

Week 144: Chamonix!

Last Monday was my parents last full day in Germany. I took the afternoon off and we were able to attend the Fasching Parade in our town. For the last two years, the Fasching parade has fallen on Presidents’ Day weekend so we’ve missed it and were glad to finally be able to attend. ComparedContinue reading “Week 144: Chamonix!”

Week 143: A Full Week at Home with my Parents

After the busy-ness since my parents arrived of traveling to Innsbruck, having Lasik, and then going to Iceland, we finally enjoyed a full week at home with my parents. While I worked, my parents enjoyed lots of long walks around town and catching up on their rest. In the evenings, we ate out at manyContinue reading “Week 143: A Full Week at Home with my Parents”
