Week 17: Barcelona!
I can’t believe it’s been another week. It feels like we just got here, and like we’ve lived here forever, all at the same time. Nothing too exciting happened during the week. Friday, I was off and the kids had a half day at school. We dropped them off at the bus stop and immediatelyContinue reading “Week 17: Barcelona!”
Week 16: First Week of School
The kids had their first week of school and we broke into our new routine! Last Sunday, we got home from Switzerland and relaxed around the house in the evening.

Week 14: Our First Visitors!
We can’t believe another week has passed us by! I needed to attend a training for work from 3pm-midnight each day so I had the mornings and early afternoons off each day.

Week 13: A Nice Week
We had a relatively quiet week; there is really nothing to report for the first half. I guess it is a sign that things are really starting to settle down for us.

Week 12: We Have Internet!
I can’t believe another week has flown by! We had a relatively quiet week. The most exciting thing to happen is that we finally got internet at our house and it almost didn’t happen.

Week 11: Ryan’s Birthday and a Mini Roadtrip
We started out the week celebrating Ryan’s 11th birthday and ended it with a mini, 3-day roadtrip to Salzburg, Austria and Lake Bled, Slovenia. On Monday, Ryan turned 11. We woke Ryan up by surprising him with a huge pile of his favorite snacks; Pringles, popcorn, Cheeze-Its, and Fudge Stripe Cookies. Because of our ongoingContinue reading “Week 11: Ryan’s Birthday and a Mini Roadtrip”
Week 10: Unpacking, Heidelberg, and Bad Wildbad
We are still unpacking and purging our stuff! We are making a lot of progress but still have a ways to go.

We were supposedContinue reading “Week 10: Unpacking, Heidelberg, and Bad Wildbad”
Week 9: We Have Our Stuff!
We finally have our stuff! I am actually able to write this while sitting at my own table, drinking wine from my own glass, instead of sitting on the floor and drinking out of a disposable cup. It is so nice after being in transit pretty much since January. We got back from Mallorca superContinue reading “Week 9: We Have Our Stuff!”
