I’ve been falling really behind in posting updates! The weekends are just so busy; I don’t have time to get everything in at once. Two weeks ago, my new nephew, Nix was born. At that time, I was already two weeks late in writing updates so I did not put it in but he isContinue reading “Week 148: My New Nephew!”

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 146: Ischgl, Austria!
Another week has flown by; I guess that’s the way it is when you are gone every weekend like we have been! We have not even been completely unpacking our bags, just leaving them open and adding and taking things out during the week. Softball tryouts were this week for Brooklyn, so she spent everyContinue reading “Week 146: Ischgl, Austria!”
Week 145: Skiing in Austria; St. Anton and Ski Amade!
After arriving back home from Chamonix Monday night, we had a quiet week at home, which was heaven after rushing around the last few weeks. We have been going non-stop since my parents’ arrival and needed to catch up on things around the house and sleep. Softball tryouts start for Brooklyn next week, so thisContinue reading “Week 145: Skiing in Austria; St. Anton and Ski Amade!”
Week 144: Chamonix!
Last Monday was my parents last full day in Germany. I took the afternoon off and we were able to attend the Fasching Parade in our town. For the last two years, the Fasching parade has fallen on Presidents’ Day weekend so we’ve missed it and were glad to finally be able to attend. ComparedContinue reading “Week 144: Chamonix!”
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 137: Christmas at Home and New Years in London
We made it home from Nürnberg in time for Christmas Eve dinner. This was our first Christmas in Germany, and essentially the first Christmas we’ve ever spent with just our immediate family. We went the extra mile to uphold our favorite traditions while creating some news ones, and making it a fun weekend so noContinue reading “Week 137: Christmas at Home and New Years in London”
Week 136: Christmas in Poland
It is already the last week before Christmas; I cannot believe that December has passed us so quickly! At the same time, we have been jamming in as many visitors and activities as possible so maybe that’s not surprising. The kids are now on winter break and Tuesday, we were leaving on a trip toContinue reading “Week 136: Christmas in Poland”
Week 135: Last Week before Christmas Break
We continued our visit with the O’Rourkes when they arrived in Stuttgart by train on Monday night. But first, a moment for our advent calendars as I forgot to include them previously! Only because German Advent Calendars are the really the best, they go all out! This year, I found a Nivea calendar for BrooklynContinue reading “Week 135: Last Week before Christmas Break”
