We had a busy, but pretty “normal” week at home. Lots of school and activities for the kids and lots of work for me and Matt. Our puppy friends, Tobi and Paisley, visited with us this week while their parents were traveling. Over the weekend, Matt went on a golf trip with a friend toContinue reading “Week 122: A Full Week at Home”

Week 121: Kicking off Fest Season & a Visitor!
We had a busy week at home! Brooklyn had tennis every day, Girl Scouts, and piano lessons. Ryan had Boy Scouts and started baseball.

Week 120: Labor Day on the Amalfi Coast
We had another quick week at home. While it was so hot and humid last week, we are back to normal Germany weather; 55F and rainy. To be honest, it’s a welcome change after all the heat. Brooklyn started with tennis practice every day after school with her team. Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts bothContinue reading “Week 120: Labor Day on the Amalfi Coast”
Week 119: First Week of School and Dijon, France
It was the first week of school! We managed to get a good nights rest on Sunday and had a relatively stress-free morning on Monday. It is still so HOT and HUMID. Because temps above 70F are so rare, the schools don’t have air conditioning here. But it’s been in the high 90s and soContinue reading “Week 119: First Week of School and Dijon, France”
Week 118: Last Week of Summer!
Last week was our last week of summer break and it was HOT. It has been between 95 and 100F and over 70% humidity, which is insane for Germany. Our air conditioners struggled to keep up! The biggest news of the week is that Matt took his CompTia Security+ exam and passed with an extraContinue reading “Week 118: Last Week of Summer!”

Ryan is still goingContinue reading “Weeks 115 & 116: Two Weeks at Home!”
Week 113: Our Anniversary!
It was a pretty quiet week so this will be a short post! Brooklyn and I are keeping up with our tennis lessons and showing a little improvement.

Week 112: Back in Deutschland!
It was our first week back in Germany and we were busier than ever! We landed in Frankfurt Tuesday morning after a long nine hour flight, listening to the dogs bark, and trying to sooth them the entire time 😵💫. It took us forever to get out of the airport due to long passport linesContinue reading “Week 112: Back in Deutschland!”
Weeks 110 & 111: Back in the USA (Again)
We have just returned from almost three weeks back in Maryland! The time flew by and it felt like we were just a busy as we are on a one or two week visit.
