My parents arrived for their first visit to Germany on Wednesday. We picked them up from Frankfurt Airport and we have been non-stop ever since! After they got a nap, we had dinner at our favorite restaurant in town, the Seegärtle and it was awesome, as usual. On Thursday, we let them take it easy,Continue reading “Week 50: My Parents Are Here!”

Week 48: Easter in Budapest
This week was a special week for Brooklyn; she had her eighth grade dance! She wore her beautiful, red dress that we shopped and shopped all over Stuttgart for last weekend. She met with some friends to finish getting ready, and they all went to the dance together. Brooklyn said it was an awesome night.Continue reading “Week 48: Easter in Budapest”
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?”
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.

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

In the final round the top six from each grade would competeContinue reading “Week 37: Matt’s Birthday”
Week 36: Hanging at Home
After getting back from Prague on Monday night, we had a quiet week. Work has been really busy for me and Matt has been really busy with school.

Week 32: Getting Ready for Christmas
Our last week in Stuttgart for the year! Monday night was finally our last German class. We each had to give a ten minute presentation to the class for our final exam. We both passed the presentation and passed the class with A’s. Thank God we got the same scores so neither one of usContinue reading “Week 32: Getting Ready for Christmas”
Week 30: Winter Time
I can’t believe another week has flown past us. It’s been cold for a couple of weeks now, but this week it was COLD! It has snowed almost every night and some of the days, with some freezing rain mixed in, hence we stayed home almost every day. The exception being the kids going toContinue reading “Week 30: Winter Time”
