We are back in Deutschland after our long trip back to the US, and we are still missing all our friends and family! We almost didn’t make it back at all after driving almost all the way to Dulles Airport before realizing we had forgotten our passports at my parents’ house! Our family had toContinue reading “Week 165: Back in Deutschland!”

Week 161: Back to the USA
This week was a short week, and it flew by! We were leaving Germany on Friday for our summer home leave, so we spent the week rushing around and wrapping up things at work and home. We passed our three year German Anniversary this week! I love looking at our travel stats every year. InContinue reading “Week 161: Back to the USA”
Week 157: Eye Surgery #3
This is going to be a super quick post! I had my next eye surgery on Friday, and spent the remainder of the weekend in bed, in the dark. I’m pretty behind in posting updates because I’ve been trying to avoid looking at screens as much as possible, and when I do, I’m using anContinue reading “Week 157: Eye Surgery #3”
Week 156: Three Years in Germany!
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!”
Week 155: My Birthday Week!
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. We all needed the extra rest anyways and it went a long way towards us all feeling better. Monday night, we decided to stop by the Bootshaus to try ourContinue reading “Week 155: My Birthday Week!”
Week 154: The Gilcrest’s are Here!
We got off to a tired start this week after Brooklyn and I returned from the UK last Sunday night. We made it through all of the regular afterschool clubs and sports, but still have no internet! We are going on 35 days now without it and its just insane since everyone who lives aroundContinue reading “Week 154: The Gilcrest’s are Here!”
Week 152: Springtime Stuff
Another week has flown by! Brooklyn is still playing softball every night, and piano and Girl Scouts have started again after the Easter break. Ryan also started playing baseball this week so he’s been super busy too! The weather was so beautiful last weekend but crappy weather made a come-back during the week! It’s beenContinue reading “Week 152: Springtime Stuff”
Week 151: It’s April!
This week started out in a blur! We got back Monday night from Italy and immediately had to head into work and school Tuesday morning; we were all exhausted! We had not stayed in any AirBnbs over the course of our trip so the laundry really piled up. We had about ten loads to doContinue reading “Week 151: It’s April!”
Week 149: End of the 3rd Quarter
Before I say anything about this week, I’ve realized I said nothing last week about what the kids and Matt were up to over last weekend while I was in the US! Ryan had another Boy Scouts camp-out called ‘The Wood Burner,’ which focused on wilderness survivalism skills; using only wood for cooking and heat,Continue reading “Week 149: End of the 3rd Quarter”
Week 147: Soccer and Koblenz
This week started out with more sickness! On Monday, Brooklyn still wasn’t feeling well from being sick over the weekend, and on Tuesday, Ryan joined her. Apparently, everyone is sick because we weren’t able to get an appointment at Urgent Care until Tuesday, despite calling first thing Monday morning. Both kids ended up missing twoContinue reading “Week 147: Soccer and Koblenz”
