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”
Week 143: A Full Week at Home with my Parents
After the busy-ness since my parents arrived of traveling to Innsbruck, having Lasik, and then going to Iceland, we finally enjoyed a full week at home with my parents. While I worked, my parents enjoyed lots of long walks around town and catching up on their rest. In the evenings, we ate out at manyContinue reading “Week 143: A Full Week at Home with my Parents”
Week 142: Lasik & Iceland
Monday morning, I finally had my LASIK revision. My appointment was at 9:15 and we were back home by 11am. Everything seemed to go smoothly except I moved my left eye a little during the procedure, which resulted in a tear to my lens. The doctor applied some bandages in the form of contact lensesContinue reading “Week 142: Lasik & Iceland”
Week 141: My Parents Are Here and Innsbruck!
My parents are here! After a quiet start to the week, we picked them up from Zurich airport on Thursday morning. Their flight arrived 15 minutes early and of course, Zurich Airport is so efficient, they were waiting on the curb within 30 minutes of landing. Just like last year, they had to wait onContinue reading “Week 141: My Parents Are Here and Innsbruck!”
Week 140: More Snow and Ice!
We ended last Monday with an unexpected three inches of snow, and then we started the week off with even more. Luckily, there were some breaks where we saw blue skies for short moments. While the kids made it to school on time on Tuesday, they delayed school on Wednesday due to a predicted iceContinue reading “Week 140: More Snow and Ice!”
