Week 47: Is it Spring Yet?

Compared to the last couple of weeks, this was definitely a slow and boring week, but we really needed a quiet week to catch up on stuff at home, work, and school. To answer, the title question, it definitely is not Spring yet in Stuttgart; it snowed three times this week alone and has barelyContinue reading “Week 47: Is it Spring Yet?”

Week 46: Spring Break Part Deux

On Monday, we started the second leg of our Spring Break trip in France. We drove along the northern coast of Belgium and into France. This region of France, called Hauts-de-France, is one that we’ve never been to before and didn’t know much about. Well, this region didn’t look like any pictures of France weContinue reading “Week 46: Spring Break Part Deux”

Week 45: Spring Break Part 1

Our week started out pretty busy. It was the last week of the third quarter for the school year and we spent every free moment in the evenings trying to help the kids complete projects and final assignments. Thursday was officially the last day of the quarter and we cannot wait for a fresh startContinue reading “Week 45: Spring Break Part 1”

Week 44: Bahrain

This week I had the opportunity to travel to Bahrain for work. We definitely stayed busy during the day with work events, but were able to do a little exploring in the evenings. I didn’t land in Bahrain until 2am, so my first look during the day was after I woke up later in theContinue reading “Week 44: Bahrain”

Week 43: Nuremberg

Another late and quick update! Last weekend, we finally made it to another city on our short list: Nuremberg. The kids had a long weekend from school, so on Friday we made the two hour drive to the city. Our first stop in Nuremberg was the site of Hitler’s infamous Nuremberg rallies. The main museum,Continue reading “Week 43: Nuremberg”

Weeks 41 and 42

We’re combining two weeks into one because we’ve been so busy, but it’s also been so quiet. Matt’s had a challenging couple of weeks at school and work has been really busy for me. I also had to finish testing for my CDFM certification for work and I spent every extra minute studying and thenContinue reading “Weeks 41 and 42”

Week 40: Skiing in Garmisch

Another week has flown by! It was jump-started by Brooklyn having her second sleepover of the weekend with some more friends for her birthday. Monday, there was no school for a teacher work day. I’m skeptical though and believe this could have had something to do with the Super Bowl being the night before andContinue reading “Week 40: Skiing in Garmisch”

Week 39: Brooklyn’s Birthday

It’s Brooklyn’s birthday week! I can’t believe my baby girl turned 14 😩. Luckily, Alli was here to celebrate with us. We had the best possible scenario, because I was unable to take any time off, but Alli was able to work remotely, so we both worked during the day, and then made the mostContinue reading “Week 39: Brooklyn’s Birthday”

Week 38: Surprise Visitor!

This week started out as usual. Wednesday, Matt and I went to Indoor Golfing Stuttgart with one of his golf friends. The indoor golf place is also a wine importer and bar so at least there were drinks for me while I watched the (bad) golfing. Friday, we got a surprise visitor! My sister hasContinue reading “Week 38: Surprise Visitor!”

Week 37: Matt’s Birthday

It’s Matt’s Birthday week! Up until the weekend, we had another quiet week. The only exception was Brooklyn’s Spelling Bee. Unbeknownst to us, Brooklyn decided to enroll herself in her school’s spelling bee and made it to the final six in eighth grade. In the final round the top six from each grade would competeContinue reading “Week 37: Matt’s Birthday”
