We had a crazy, busy, first full week of May! On Monday, I returned to the eye doctor and I’m now scheduled to have my next eye surgery, next Friday. I’m just hoping I can keep myself calm enough during surgery to hold still and let things happen. The recovery will be very similar toContinue reading “Week 156: Three Years in Germany!”

We’ve been enjoying another week of Matt Sr. and Cindy visiting with us! After Cindy’s wrist injury on Sunday, we took it easy on Monday.

Week 143: A Full Week at Home with my Parents
After the busy-ness since my parents arrived of traveling to Innsbruck, having Lasik, and then going to Iceland, we finally enjoyed a full week at home with my parents.

Week 139: Farmers and Freezing
We just wrapped up another low key week in Germany! It has been absolutely freezing all week. A “Scandinavian Cloud” has settled over Central Europe and doesn’t seem to have any plans of leaving. We have gotten a couple of dustings of snow, which just seem to live permanently on the ground now. One thingContinue reading “Week 139: Farmers and Freezing”

Week 126: Krautfest & Lasik #1
We had a nice, easy going week at home. Matt and I are both getting Lasik, and I went first this week.

My appointment was at 2pmContinue reading “Week 126: Krautfest & Lasik #1”
Week 124: Stuttgart Volksfest
We had a nice, boring week at home! All the same school, work, and after-school activities.

On Saturday, Ryan headed to the Rulantica’s indoor water park at Europa Park to celebrate a friend’s birthday,Continue reading “Week 124: Stuttgart Volksfest”

We had a busy week at home! Brooklyn had tennis every day, Girl Scouts, and piano lessons. Ryan had Boy Scouts and started baseball. Matt worked a couple of days at the school and work was super busy for me. It’s September, so that means it’s also the start of ‘fest season.’ On Friday, myContinue reading “Week 121: Kicking off Fest Season & a Visitor!”
Week 104: Opera, Softball, & The Fest
I’m almost fully recovered from the Coronation last weekend! Of course, we had another busy week at home. At the end of the week, I also realized I passed the two year anniversary of when I arrived in Germany. It feels like it was just yesterday and a lifetime ago, all at the same time.Continue reading “Week 104: Opera, Softball, & The Fest”
