We are finally getting close to the end of the school year, which means there was a lot of running around this week! Two of Ryan’s very good friends were moving at the end of the week, so he filled just about every free minute hanging out with them. Seeing him sad about his departingContinue reading “Week 210: Euros and Memorial Day Weekend”

Week 209: Halfway Through May
After our Mother’s Day marathon last week, we had a low-key week at home. The weekend came really fast! This weekend, Ryan was to attend his induction into the Order of the Arrow, which is kind of like an Honor Society for Boy Scouts. You have to be nominated by your peers and leader andContinue reading “Week 209: Halfway Through May”
Week 207: My Birthday Week!
We had a pretty typical week at home, with my birthday right in the middle, breaking up things. Tuesday night, Ryan was promoted again (yes, again) in Civil Air Patrol. It almost seems like he’s ranking up every month, even though I know that’s impossible. He’s now a Cadet Technical Sergeant, and I got toContinue reading “Week 207: My Birthday Week!”
Week 208: Mother’s Day
We were home for another whole week, which was pretty quiet, followed by a busy weekend. It’s still been pretty chilly here, and although we’ve had some cloudy days, it’s been mostly sunny with no rain! Very strange for Germany in the Spring! The pollen is piled up everywhere in thick layers, and we areContinue reading “Week 208: Mother’s Day”
Week 206: Junior Prom
It’s been another cold week in Stuttgart! Not only did the temperatures drop again this week to the 40s, but our boiler broke again, and we had no hot water. Thankfully, this happened the day after our guests departed and not while they were there. However, I have learned my lesson about talking about theContinue reading “Week 206: Junior Prom”
Week 205: Springfest
We had some very special visitors last week! On Tuesday, my cousin Bonnie was the first to arrive. She let herself in, and we finally reunited after I returned home from work in the early afternoon. When I got home, our first stop was Herrenberg, where the softball team was having a scrimmage. After seeingContinue reading “Week 205: Springfest”
Week 204: Quick UK Trip
We had another quick week back in Stuttgart. We felt really refreshed after our break in South Africa, but waking up to the alarm on Monday morning was tough. The week went by quickly as we moved through the regular routines. The weather has been a little chilly but otherwise beautiful. Some friends and IContinue reading “Week 204: Quick UK Trip”
Weeks 201 and 202: Still March!
It’s still March, but it feels like the longest month ever. Outside of our usual activities, we haven’t done much noteworthy, so I’m combining the last two weeks of March into one post. Everyone’s been super busy with their work, school, and activities. Over the first weekend, the kids had another doubleheader against Kaiserslautern. MattContinue reading “Weeks 201 and 202: Still March!”
Week 200: Softball and Baseball
Another week has passed, and I seriously can’t believe it was our 200th week in Germany! Time is just flying by; we didn’t even notice it was a milestone week! The kids play softball and baseball every day, and Matt and I drive them from there to whatever second activity they have in the evening.Continue reading “Week 200: Softball and Baseball”
Weeks 198 and 199: March is Finally Here!
We have made it through another two weeks! I’m behind on posting, mainly because work has been so busy, and we’ve been running around every evening between countless activities. Life’s been stressful, but we are getting on with it! It’s still early in March, but in the first week, we were treated to beautiful SpringContinue reading “Weeks 198 and 199: March is Finally Here!”
