We are cruising through the year; I can’t believe it will be the holiday season soon! September 30th is the last day of our fiscal year at work, so we were grinding right up until the last minute on Monday night after a month of non-stop work! Happily, that meant we could ease off andContinue reading “Week 177: Quick Trip Back to Maryland!”

Week 172: Labor Day Weekend in Sardinia
Another week has flown by! The only big news from this week is that Brooklyn started her job at Pizza Hut and worked two shifts! We are so proud of her! We have been bunny-sitting for our friends for the past couple of weeks. Milo is the sweetest thing. We had been expecting a tinyContinue reading “Week 172: Labor Day Weekend in Sardinia”
Week 170: Last Week of Summer Break
It’s the last week of summer break, and the heat is not letting up! The mornings are manageable, but we have to hunker down in our air-conditioned rooms for the rest of the day. We are looking forward to things cooling off a little bit this weekend. On Monday night, we saw the Perseid MeteorContinue reading “Week 170: Last Week of Summer Break”
Week 169: Bern, Switzerland
It was a short week for us after I got home from Nice on Tuesday! It’s still summer vacation for everyone, and it’s still hot, so not much new to report! By Saturday, we were bored with being in the house, and the forecast called for sun and heat, so we decided to cross anotherContinue reading “Week 169: Bern, Switzerland”
Week 168: Nice, France (Again!)
It was a hot week in Germany! Our air conditioners are up and running again; temperatures have been above 90F all week. The A/C can’t even keep up at work, so we have been working more from home. Every afternoon, it looks like a big storm is coming through that will break this heatwave, butContinue reading “Week 168: Nice, France (Again!)”
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 166: Taylor Swift and Ryan’s Birthday!
We are in the middle of summer vacation but have been just as busy as ever! We went away for a long weekend on Thursday, but we had lots to keep us running around Monday through Wednesday. Brooklyn was probably the busiest of all of us. In addition to piano and softball practice, she’s joinedContinue reading “Week 166: Taylor Swift and Ryan’s Birthday!”
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!”
Weeks 162-164: Summer Break in the US
We have been enjoying the past several weeks in the USA with friends and family. This year, our trip was 25 days long, the longest we’ve ever stayed, but of course, it was as busy as ever! We celebrated Father’s Day with my dad, and my sister, Alli’s birthday! My parents threw a big partyContinue reading “Weeks 162-164: Summer Break in the US”
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”
