Week 62: Back in the USA

I made it back Friday just in time for the kids to be picked up from summer camp. We drove straight from the airport to camp, stopping only for some Chick-Fil-A on the way. I have to say I was kind of disappointed by Chick-Fil-A. I guess I have put it on a pedestal tooContinue reading “Week 62: Back in the USA”

Weeks 60 & 61: Home Alone

I spent two of the longest weeks ever at home alone! Just off the heels of an awesome vacation with the whole family, the house was suddenly so quiet! On top of that, most of our friends in Stuttgart, were traveling or back in the States, so there really wasn’t much for me to doContinue reading “Weeks 60 & 61: Home Alone”

Week 59: Slovenia and Summer Camp

After our cruise the previous week, we disembarked the ship on Sunday. The process of getting ourselves and the luggage back to the car was a lot easier and stress free than the process of getting on. We decided to not drive all the way back to Stuttgart in one day and instead crossed twoContinue reading “Week 59: Slovenia and Summer Camp”

Weeks 57 & 58: Cruising!

I’m getting pretty far behind on posting updates, but we have had a busy couple of weeks. Summer got off to a quiet start and we didn’t have much to report the first week except that we have hot water at our house again! The boiler is finally fixed. We did have a radiator burstContinue reading “Weeks 57 & 58: Cruising!”

Week 56: Berchtesgaden and Hallstatt

School FINALLY ended on Tuesday! The parents gathered at the middle school at the end of school and clapped out the eighth graders for finishing middle school. The kids spent the rest of the day, and then the rest of the week, hanging out with friends. Friday was my day off, so we hit theContinue reading “Week 56: Berchtesgaden and Hallstatt”

Week 55: Last Week of School!

The last week of school is finally here! The last day is next Tuesday, but it’s only a half day and exams are over this week so we are pretending we’re done for now. Since Ryan’s birthday is in July and he’ll be back in the U.S., we did a mini, early birthday for himContinue reading “Week 55: Last Week of School!”

Week 54: Copenhagen

Another week, over. School is winding down here and both kids have been super busy with end of year projects and studying for end of the year exams. It has been taking up all of our free time in the evenings to help them keep up with the work. We cannot wait til school isContinue reading “Week 54: Copenhagen”

Week 53: Champagne

My parents have headed home to the US. The three weeks went by so quickly. It was so great having them here and the house feels really empty now. We had our final dinner Tuesday night at the restaurant in our neighborhood. Of course, my parents have made friends with the owners and they wereContinue reading “Week 53: Champagne”

Week 52: Garmisch

Another week has flown by! My parents are still visiting and have been staying busy, going on lots of long walks through town. One day, Matt took them into downtown Stuttgart and they rode the double decker tourist bus. Tuesday was my first day back in the office since covid! It was actually great toContinue reading “Week 52: Garmisch”

Week 51: More of My Parents’ Visit

We have had another non-stop week! It started on Monday when our new Peloton was delivered. We have been on it almost every day so far! My parents have been staying busy, walking all over town and going out to lunch in our village. The weather was rainy in the evenings, but Thursday we tookContinue reading “Week 51: More of My Parents’ Visit”
