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 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.

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.

My sister hasContinue reading “Week 38: Surprise Visitor!”
