School started this week, and it’s been so busy! Monday was the big day for everyone! It was Ryan’s first day of High School, Brooklyn’s first day of her junior year, and Matt’s first day in school with the students. They were all pretty excited when they left together on Monday morning; it was soContinue reading “Week 171: Back to School!”

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. Matt and I caught up on work and things around the house, Brooklyn wrapped up her summer class, and Ryan kept working hard on completing his Lego Star Wars AT-AT. 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!”
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!”
