My parents are back for another two week visit! We picked them up Tuesday morning from Zurich Airport. We had a busy week with work and school but we were able to have dinner every night at some of our favorite restaurants. Brooklyn’s games this weekend were in Vicenza, Italy, where my family lives. FridayContinue reading “Week 101: My Parents Are Back!”

Week 100: 100 Weeks???
I can’t believe we’ve reached another milestone; 100 weeks here?! We are in a little bit of a transitional time where we need to start thinking about whether or not we will extend our stay in Germany. I’ve caught myself thinking of home, or Maryland, more and more often. We still love it here, butContinue reading “Week 100: 100 Weeks???”
Week 99: Easter in Amsterdam
Another busy week has flown by! The kids jumped back into school on Monday. Brooklyn’s softball practices started again and at her request, she started taking piano lessons again. We found the most amazing teacher, who is also an opera singer (another of Brooklyn’s passions- yes, really) and we think this is going to beContinue reading “Week 99: Easter in Amsterdam”
Week 98: Spring Break in Marbella
We had the best week ever on Spring Break! I don’t think any of us realized how much we really needed a sunny vacation, but we did and we are all going home feeling truly refreshed. It started on Sunday morning, after about an hour of sleep after the wedding, the night before. There haveContinue reading “Week 98: Spring Break in Marbella”
Week 97: Wedding Week!
It was not our wedding week lol! But, the long awaited week of our friends’ wedding! We started on Monday with a dinner for friends who had moved back to the US, but were visiting for the wedding. I can’t believe we’ve been here long enough to see friends who have previously lived here, comeContinue reading “Week 97: Wedding Week!”
Weeks 95 & 96: Softball Days
Things have been so quiet lately, there has not been much to “write home about,” so to say. So, now we have two weeks combined into one post. Matt’s knee has continued improving every day. He goes to the physical therapist two to three times a weeks and get a lymphatic massage, and does exercises,Continue reading “Weeks 95 & 96: Softball Days”
Week 94: We Stayed Home!
This is going to be a very short post, because we honestly didn’t do very much exciting; I barely even took any photos. But, we did get a lot of resting and catching up on things done during the week. Matt’s knee continues to heal. He did get his stiches out the Friday before thisContinue reading “Week 94: We Stayed Home!”
Week 93: Fasching
Last week was Fasching, which is what they call Mardi Gras in Southern Germany. Many towns have huge parades and celebrations in the weeks leading up to the last Tuesday before Lent. We didn’t make it to any of the earlier ones due to everything going on, but I was able to join a fewContinue reading “Week 93: Fasching”
Week 92: Garmisch
Matt spent the week recovering from his surgery. It was a constant rotation of ice packs, exercises, and medications. He was feeling a little more normal by midweek and was able to get some schoolwork done. Tuesday, the maintenance man returned to finish up our bedroom. It was really frustrating that they finished 95% ofContinue reading “Week 92: Garmisch”
Week 91: Matt Has Surgery! & Brooklyn‘s Birthday
I have been getting behind on posting because its been a whirlwind couple of weeks. Things have calmed down a little, so I am trying to get caught up! The last time I posted, we had visited several doctors in the Stuttgart area, trying to find one that could treat Matt’s injury. We were referredContinue reading “Week 91: Matt Has Surgery! & Brooklyn‘s Birthday”
