On Monday, we started the second leg of our Spring Break trip in France. We drove along the northern coast of Belgium and into France. This region of France, called Hauts-de-France, is one that we’ve never been to before and didn’t know much about. Well, this region didn’t look like any pictures of France weContinue reading “Week 46: Spring Break Part Deux”

Week 45: Spring Break Part 1
Our week started out pretty busy. It was the last week of the third quarter for the school year and we spent every free moment in the evenings trying to help the kids complete projects and final assignments. Thursday was officially the last day of the quarter and we cannot wait for a fresh startContinue reading “Week 45: Spring Break Part 1”
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”
Week 40: Skiing in Garmisch
Another week has flown by! It was jump-started by Brooklyn having her second sleepover of the weekend with some more friends for her birthday. Monday, there was no school for a teacher work day. I’m skeptical though and believe this could have had something to do with the Super Bowl being the night before andContinue reading “Week 40: Skiing in Garmisch”
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 38: Surprise Visitor!
This week started out as usual. Wednesday, Matt and I went to Indoor Golfing Stuttgart with one of his golf friends. The indoor golf place is also a wine importer and bar so at least there were drinks for me while I watched the (bad) golfing. Friday, we got a surprise visitor! My sister hasContinue reading “Week 38: Surprise Visitor!”
Week 35: Prague
We are all back in Germany after our trip back to the U.S. and spent the week catching up on sleep and things around the house. MLK weekend is another four day weekend for the base and we had originally planned to go to Tromso, Norway, but our flights ended up getting cancelled. This wasContinue reading “Week 35: Prague”
Home for Christmas
We had an awesome trip home for the holidays! It was so nice to catch up with family and friends. We had originally planned on a two week stay but Ryan and I both tested positive for Covid on the last day so had to extend our stay for another week. We are all backContinue reading “Home for Christmas”
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!”
