Another week! It went by fast; the kids each had fieldtrips this week. Brooklyn went to a fossil pit with her Biology class to dig for fossils. She was able to keep everything she found including some fool’s gold. Ryan went to a trampoline park with Adventure Club from school. Both came home super excitedContinue reading “Week 49: Fruhlingsfest!”

Week 47: Is it Spring Yet?
Compared to the last couple of weeks, this was definitely a slow and boring week, but we really needed a quiet week to catch up on stuff at home, work, and school. To answer, the title question, it definitely is not Spring yet in Stuttgart; it snowed three times this week alone and has barelyContinue reading “Week 47: Is it Spring Yet?”
Week 43: Nuremberg
Another late and quick update! Last weekend, we finally made it to another city on our short list: Nuremberg. The kids had a long weekend from school, so on Friday we made the two hour drive to the city. Our first stop in Nuremberg was the site of Hitler’s infamous Nuremberg rallies. The main museum,Continue reading “Week 43: Nuremberg”
Weeks 41 and 42
We’re combining two weeks into one because we’ve been so busy, but it’s also been so quiet. Matt’s had a challenging couple of weeks at school and work has been really busy for me. I also had to finish testing for my CDFM certification for work and I spent every extra minute studying and thenContinue reading “Weeks 41 and 42”
Week 39: Brooklyn’s Birthday
It’s Brooklyn’s birthday week! I can’t believe my baby girl turned 14 😩. Luckily, Alli was here to celebrate with us. We had the best possible scenario, because I was unable to take any time off, but Alli was able to work remotely, so we both worked during the day, and then made the mostContinue reading “Week 39: Brooklyn’s Birthday”
Week 36: Hanging at Home
After getting back from Prague on Monday night, we had a quiet week. Work has been really busy for me and Matt has been really busy with school. On top of that, the kids started the 3rd quarter at school so started new classes and by the end of the week, we were so done!Continue reading “Week 36: Hanging at Home”
Week 32: Getting Ready for Christmas
Our last week in Stuttgart for the year! Monday night was finally our last German class. We each had to give a ten minute presentation to the class for our final exam. We both passed the presentation and passed the class with A’s. Thank God we got the same scores so neither one of usContinue reading “Week 32: Getting Ready for Christmas”
Week 31: Christmas Markets!
It was another “normal” week at home. School, work, German classes, and after-school activities. German class is really getting old! I’m enjoying learning a new language but I am so tired of rushing from work to three hours of class twice a week. Granted, I am mostly working from home and the class is virtualContinue reading “Week 31: Christmas Markets!”
Week 30: Winter Time
I can’t believe another week has flown past us. It’s been cold for a couple of weeks now, but this week it was COLD! It has snowed almost every night and some of the days, with some freezing rain mixed in, hence we stayed home almost every day. The exception being the kids going toContinue reading “Week 30: Winter Time”
Week 29: Thanksgiving Week
This week started with shuffling several plans around. Originally, we were unable to find a dog kennel over Thanksgiving weekend but recently some space opened up and we immediately booked the dogs and made plans to go to Austria and Slovakia for Christmas markets. This past weekend, both countries were put into lockdown and ontoContinue reading “Week 29: Thanksgiving Week”
