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!”
Week 197: Moving Through February
We made it through another week! I don’t know why, but 2025 has felt so long! We are all adjusting to new school and work routines, and we are all just so tired at the end of the day! We are technically on the “Winter Sports Pause” at school, but the students have filled thisContinue reading “Week 197: Moving Through February”
Week 196: Presidents’ Day Weekend in La Trois Vallee, France
We had a four-day weekend this week, but first, we had to get through the short week. I took my German language evaluation on Monday night because I am heading back to German school! Compared to the last time we took German classes at the American university, this will be a German-taught class for thoseContinue reading “Week 196: Presidents’ Day Weekend in La Trois Vallee, France”
Week 195: Wrestling European Championships
We are still trying to catch up on sleep around our house after a busy couple of weeks, during which at least one of us has had some kind of sickness. This week was no different, with Ryan being sick at the beginning. We allowed him to miss some school in the hopes that heContinue reading “Week 195: Wrestling European Championships”
Week 194: Matt’s 40th Birthday!
This week, we continued our visit with Kathy and Elsie! On Monday, we drove to Strasbourg, France. Some of our other previous neighbors, Susan and her daughter Tori, who now live in another part of Germany, drove down to meet us. The girls all started elementary school together and it’s so cool we get toContinue reading “Week 194: Matt’s 40th Birthday!”
Week 192: MLK Weekend
This will be a super short post because, honestly, we didn’t do much! It’s been a while since I’ve been able to say that, and as much as I hate missing a travel opportunity on a long weekend, it was nice to slow down and catch up on rest. This week’s wrestling tournament was inContinue reading “Week 192: MLK Weekend”
Week 191: Matt’s 40th Birthday Party!
It was a short week because I didn’t get back to Germany until Wednesday morning. Then, I went straight into work and to a hair appointment in the evening. Luckily, Thursday was declared a federal holiday, so all four of us were off work and school and could catch up on rest and things aroundContinue reading “Week 191: Matt’s 40th Birthday Party!”
