We are back in Germany and it has pretty much taken us all week to get caught back up on everything. We are still working on catching up on sleep. Brooklyn has decided she wants to earn her own money because we’re too cheap 😂. She has been networking in the American community here toContinue reading “Week 63: Back in Germany!”

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. Summer got off to a quiet start and we didn’t have much to report the first week except that we have hot water at our house again! The boiler is finally fixed. We did have a radiator burstContinue reading “Weeks 57 & 58: Cruising!”
Week 56: Berchtesgaden and Hallstatt
School FINALLY ended on Tuesday! The parents gathered at the middle school at the end of school and clapped out the eighth graders for finishing middle school. The kids spent the rest of the day, and then the rest of the week, hanging out with friends. Friday was my day off, so we hit theContinue reading “Week 56: Berchtesgaden and Hallstatt”
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. Since Ryan’s birthday is in July and he’ll be back in the U.S., we did a mini, early birthday for himContinue reading “Week 55: Last Week of School!”
Week 50: My Parents Are Here!
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. I also had to finish testing for my CDFM certification for work and I spent every extra minute studying and thenContinue reading “Weeks 41 and 42”
