I got back from my trip to the USA on Tuesday and Wednesday was the last day of school, thank God! It was only a short day and both kids had plans with friends after school so we didn’t see them until late in the afternoon. A few months ago, the kids commented that weContinue reading “Week 108: Le Mans, France”

Week 106: Memorial Day Weekend
Its been another busy week. Unfortunately, early on in the week, Brooklyn and I were both struck down by a stomach virus, but we were on the mend quickly. Since there is no more softball practice, we have had lots more time in the evenings for working on homework and catching up with each other.Continue reading “Week 106: Memorial Day Weekend”
Week 105: Euro Championships & the Moselle River Valley
Spring has finally decided to show up in Stuttgart. It has still been pretty chilly, but at least has been really sunny. The days are getting so long. One day, we went to bed with our window shades open. We woke up the next morning to see the room filled with sunlight. I screamed thatContinue reading “Week 105: Euro Championships & the Moselle River Valley”
Week 107: Back to the USA!
I went back to the US for a couple of days of work! We returned from our weekend trip on Sunday and I washed clothes and re-packed on Monday. Tuesday, I had to be at the airport by 3am for my first flight. I connected at Frankfurt and was BLESSED with an empty row onContinue reading “Week 107: Back to the USA!”
Week 104: Opera, Softball, & The Fest
I’m almost fully recovered from the Coronation last weekend! Of course, we had another busy week at home. At the end of the week, I also realized I passed the two year anniversary of when I arrived in Germany. It feels like it was just yesterday and a lifetime ago, all at the same time.Continue reading “Week 104: Opera, Softball, & The Fest”
Week 103: The Coronation!
Wow, this was a packed week. When I look back to write down what we did, I can’t believe everything was in such a small time period. Monday was my parents last day here and we spent the day getting them packed up and ready to fly, and then had dinner at one of ourContinue reading “Week 103: The Coronation!”
Week 102: My Birthday Week!
My birthday week was a big blur! My biggest wish was to go somewhere in the Alsace region and drink wine in a wine cave. Since we would be dog sitting later in the week, we decided to go on Monday. When the kids left for school, we got on the road for Eguisheim, France.Continue reading “Week 102: My Birthday Week!”
Week 101: My Parents Are Back!
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”
