After we arrived home last Monday night, my parents came for another visit on Tuesday! Unfortunately, they started their travels with a delay that caused them to miss their connection in Frankfurt. But they made it to Stuttgart by early afternoon, had a nap, and we could all enjoy a dinner out in our neighborhoodContinue reading “Week 179: My Parents Are Here!”

Week 176: Volksfest!
We have survived another crazy week! This one was really “Ryan’s week” because he reached multiple milestones. One Tuesday night, he was promoted to cadet airman in Civil Air Patrol! Ryan’s goal is to join the Air Force, and he came home last spring saying he wanted to join to improve his chances of gettingContinue reading “Week 176: Volksfest!”
Week 175: Homecoming!
This week was Homecoming for Stuttgart High, and the kids had a fun and busy week dressing up and celebrating during Spirit Week! Tuesday night, Ryan cooked us one of his fish, the salmon, from the camping trip the week before. He baked it with lemons, garlic, and chives, and it was so good. ItContinue reading “Week 175: Homecoming!”
Week 173: Festival Season Begins
This was a short week for us as we did not get back from Sardinia until Monday evening. As usual, the week flew by with millions of activities and school events!

Week 167: The Olympics and Disney Paris
We had another super busy week! After returning from Cuxhaven, we only had two days at home before we left on our next adventure.

IContinue reading “Week 167: The Olympics and Disney Paris”
Week 165: Back in Deutschland!
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!”
