Another December week has flown by, and as usual, I packed it with several Christmas outings. On Wednesday, I had my work Christmas lunch at the Stuttgart Winterhütte, an Alpine-themed pop-up restaurant in the middle of the Stuttgart Christmas market. The inside is decorated like an alpine lodge and has a Christmas menu. After lunchContinue reading “Week 187: Wrestling and Christmas in Belgium”

Week 185: Thanksgiving in Zermatt
I can’t believe it’s Thanksgiving already; it seems like Halloween just passed! The kids are both at wrestling practice until after 6 pm every night, and Matt has been going to the gym. It feels like I’ve been home alone a lot! On Monday, a friend and I started the Christmas market season with aContinue reading “Week 185: Thanksgiving in Zermatt”
Week 182: Long Weekend Across Europe
I can’t believe we made it through another week; they are just flying by! Luckily, we entered this one slightly more rested than usual, as it was the first time we all slept in our beds the whole week since September 27th! It is really nice getting out and exploring, but it’s also nice toContinue reading “Week 182: Long Weekend Across Europe”
Week 181: A Full Week at Home!
After we returned from Garmisch with my parents Sunday night, we took things easy on Monday. We did manage to go out to dinner at the Seegärtle in Böblingen after everyone was home from work and school. Tuesday was my parents’ final day in Germany. They stayed busy washing clothes, packing, and preparing for theirContinue reading “Week 181: A Full Week at Home!”
Week 180: Autumn Weekend in Garmisch
It’s been another great week of enjoying my parents’ visit!

Monday night was Ryan’s night. My parents really love taking himContinue reading “Week 180: Autumn Weekend in Garmisch”
Week 179: My Parents Are Here!
After we arrived home last Monday night, my parents came for another visit on Tuesday! Unfortunately, they started their travels with a delay that caused them to miss their connection in Frankfurt. But they made it to Stuttgart by early afternoon, had a nap, and we could all enjoy a dinner out in our neighborhoodContinue reading “Week 179: My Parents Are Here!”
Week 178: Columbus Day Weekend in Puglia
We only had a short week at home after I returned from the U.S. before the Columbus Day weekend arrived. It’s a four-day weekend for us, so as soon as everyone was home from work and school on Thursday, we dropped off the dogs at the kennel and headed to the airport. Our destination wasContinue reading “Week 178: Columbus Day Weekend in Puglia”
Week 177: Quick Trip Back to Maryland!
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”
