This weekend was Homecoming at Stuttgart High School, which meant an entire week of Spirit Week leading up to it. Even more exciting for Ryan, he finally had his braces removed this week! It has been almost three years of braces, preceded by another two years with a jaw alignment device, so it is stillContinue reading “Week 281: Homecoming”

Week 280: Volksfest!
We kept up with our usual routine this week of having a relatively low key work and school week followed by a very busy weekend. We did break up the routine a little bit on Wednesday when we went to a friend’s house for some after work cocktails. This week’s specialty was blueberry mint ginContinue reading “Week 280: Volksfest!”
Week 279: A Little Bit of Everything
We had another mostly normal week, although Thursday night gave us a nice break from our usual routine. Ryan had his Boy Scout Court of Honor, where the Scouts were recognized for everything they had accomplished over the past six months, and Ryan had a particularly good night. He earned more merit badges than anyoneContinue reading “Week 279: A Little Bit of Everything”
Week 278: Ebenalp, Switzerland
It was another normal week at home, which around here apparently means finding a few hours to squeeze in an adventure somewhere. Friday was my day off, so instead of doing the things I probably should have been doing at home, I decided to cross a few more things off my Germany list. This timeContinue reading “Week 278: Ebenalp, Switzerland”
Week 276: A Quiet Week Back in Germany
It was a pretty quiet week after getting back from the US on Sunday. We made it through another full week of work and school, followed by a low-key weekend at home, although it ended up being a little busier than planned. Friday was my day off, and I had every intention of getting upContinue reading “Week 276: A Quiet Week Back in Germany”
Week 275: Brooklyn’s College Move-In
We just finished up a crazy week, and it somehow managed to include the first day of school for Ryan, a trip to the US, moving Brooklyn into college, time with friends and family, and even a movie! It was a lot packed into one week, but somehow we made it through. The week startedContinue reading “Week 275: Brooklyn’s College Move-In”
Weeks 269 & 270: Two Quiet Weeks in Germany
It has honestly been a quiet, kind of boring couple of weeks in Germany, not even enough happening to justify breaking this into two separate weekly posts. It has still been incredibly hot, and everywhere is sold out of air conditioners. We already have three in our house, but we decided we have become farContinue reading “Weeks 269 & 270: Two Quiet Weeks in Germany”
Week 267: Boiling Hot!
Wow, what a crazy, hot week it has been! We got back from Greece on Sunday, but while we were away, a brutal heat wave had settled over much of Europe. Every day this week topped 100°F (38°C), and suddenly everyone I know was Googling, “What is a heat dome?” I’ll spare you the meteorologyContinue reading “Week 267: Boiling Hot!”
Week 264: Brooklyn’s Graduation
After 13 years of homework, exams, projects, early mornings, and countless school events, graduation week had finally arrived for Brooklyn! The week kicked off on Monday. Matt and I both had to work, and since the graduation ceremony was scheduled right during dinnertime on Tuesday, we decided to celebrate a little early with a specialContinue reading “Week 264: Brooklyn’s Graduation”
Week 263: Wrapping up the School Year
After returning from Lauterbrunnen on Monday afternoon, we jumped right into a busy week. Tuesday was my day off, but there wasn’t much time for relaxing. Our house was bursting at the seams with so many visitors; which we absolutely loved; but with eight people under one roof, there was plenty of laundry and aContinue reading “Week 263: Wrapping up the School Year”
