Another week has flown by, and after our trip to England last weekend, we stayed a bit closer to home this week. The weather has been warming up, the flowering trees are in full bloom, and the birds are back. I really love this time of year in Germany. The regular week flew by inContinue reading “Week 253: Final Week of March”

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 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!”
Week 239: Even More Christmas Markets
We’re in the second week of Advent, as the Germans would say, and it was another packed one! As we approach the shortest day of the year, it’s fully dark when we leave the house in the morning—and already nearly dark again by the time we leave work. At least we’ve been lucky, though, withContinue reading “Week 239: Even More Christmas Markets”
Week 237: Thanksgiving Week
It was a short week at work and school for us since Thanksgiving was on Thursday! Our original plans had us departing on Wednesday afternoon to fly to Albania and begin a road trip through several Balkan countries. Unfortunately, on Tuesday we found out that our flight had been rescheduled for Thursday night—not cancelled, justContinue reading “Week 237: Thanksgiving Week”
Week 236: Early Snow!
It’s been a super cold week here in Stuttgart! It has hovered in the 40s since early October, but this week it finally dipped below freezing and hasn’t climbed back up since. We’ve been stuck in the upper 20s to low 30s every day, and even got a mini snowstorm that delayed the start ofContinue reading “Week 236: Early Snow!”
Week 235: Halfway through November!
I can’t believe we’re already halfway through November—it’s been such a busy month so far. The weather has mostly been cold, though we’ve had a few days that almost reached 60°F. You can really feel that winter is just around the corner, so we’re trying to soak up every bit of sun and these rare,Continue reading “Week 235: Halfway through November!”
Week 234: The Marine Corps Ball and Many Other Things
Wow—after some pretty quiet, slow weeks in October, November kicked off with a crazy start! It all began on Monday, when Brooklyn and I left work and school early and took the train up to Cologne to see Bob Dylan in concert. Brooklyn has a wonderfully eclectic taste in music; she bought the tickets overContinue reading “Week 234: The Marine Corps Ball and Many Other Things”
Week 232: Moving Through October
We had a busy but pretty uninteresting week! The weather has been colder, and it’s rained at least once a day, although we have gotten a few minutes of sunshine and some beautiful post-rainstorm sunsets. I’m still attending German class, and I made it through the end of the third week. I’m enjoying it soContinue reading “Week 232: Moving Through October”
Week 230: Columbus Day Weekend in Romania
It’s been another full week of gloomy weather here in Germany. The government shutdown is still ongoing, but fortunately, we found out that extracurricular activities can resume at school, and homecoming has been rescheduled for next weekend. Matt and I are still working as usual, so not much has changed for us. The Stuttgarter VolksfestContinue reading “Week 230: Columbus Day Weekend in Romania”
