Another week has flown right by! Brooklyn spent Monday through Wednesday in Luxembourg at a science conference at the University of Luxembourg. Of course, even after I specifically asked her to take pictures, she came home with exactly one of her waiting for an Uber Eats delivery. Teenagers! She said she had a great time,Continue reading “Week 252: Quick Trip to England”

Week 251: Another Full Week at Home!
This week felt long and stressful for everyone. Work and school have kept us all busy, and after-school activities have filled our evenings. The kids are in baseball and softball, Matt has been going to the gym, and I’ve had German class. The weather has been cold but sunny, and we’ve really enjoyed the extraContinue reading “Week 251: Another Full Week at Home!”
Week 250: Finally- A Week at Home!
It’s been a long time since we’ve all been home for a full week and weekend and we had a nice, slow, low-key week. With no sports on the weekend schedule either, we enjoyed a blissfully relaxing time together. On Wednesday, the sun started peaking through the clouds for just about the first time thisContinue reading “Week 250: Finally- A Week at Home!”
Week 249: Ski Amade and Schloss Lieser
We had a quiet week at home! Unfortunately some maintenance issues at work had us working from home this week until they could be resolved. I definitely enjoyed not having to wake up, get ready, and drive in every day! It’s also a school holiday this week in most of Europe (although not for theContinue reading “Week 249: Ski Amade and Schloss Lieser”
Week 248: Brooklyn’s Birthday and Skiing in the Trois Vallées
We had a busy, packed week! I’d just gotten back from the Olympics the night before and stayed up late with Matt decorating for Brooklyn’s birthday. We decorated everything in pink and gold, her favorite colors, with balloons and streamers everywhere. It turned out so cute! Thankfully, my friend Susan was still staying with usContinue reading “Week 248: Brooklyn’s Birthday and Skiing in the Trois Vallées”
Week 246: Matt’s Birthday!
Outside of Matt’s birthday, we had another quiet week at home. It’s been cold and rainy, with interspersed periods of snow and ice. I think we’re getting the leftovers of the storm that hit the US last weekend. We had three days of delayed arrivals for work and school, and it was heaven! We happilyContinue reading “Week 246: Matt’s Birthday!”
Week 245: Model UN and Visitors
After the kids returned from England and we got back from Garmisch on Sunday, we were fortunate to have Monday off. We spent the day catching up on rest and tidying up around the house. Brooklyn spent part of the day unpacking and repacking her bags, as she was leaving on Tuesday for Prague toContinue reading “Week 245: Model UN and Visitors”
Week 244: Garmisch and England!
In the second week of January, we had a short week at home since everyone was traveling over the weekend. We’ve all been exhausted from running from one activity to the next, and I’ve been especially tired; I just can’t seem to catch up on sleep. Even though the week was busy, I barely tookContinue reading “Week 244: Garmisch and England!”
Week 243: Back in the Routine
Since we returned from our big Christmas adventure, I’ve fallen behind on updating our journal, but I’m doing my best to catch up! It was a snowy week after we returned home from our trip to Finland. There was already snow on the ground when we arrived, and it continued to snow at least onceContinue reading “Week 243: Back in the Routine”
Week 241: Christmas!
This was a SUPER short week as we didn’t get back from skiing until Monday night, and then we departed on Friday for our next trip, but we thoroughly enjoyed our three Christmas days at home. The kids were off from school all week, but sadly, Matt and I still had to get through workContinue reading “Week 241: Christmas!”
