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.

We did have a radiator burstContinue reading “Weeks 57 & 58: Cruising!”

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.
