Wow, this was a packed week. When I look back to write down what we did, I can’t believe everything was in such a small time period. Monday was my parents last day here and we spent the day getting them packed up and ready to fly, and then had dinner at one of ourContinue reading “Week 103: The Coronation!”

Week 102: My Birthday Week!
My birthday week was a big blur! My biggest wish was to go somewhere in the Alsace region and drink wine in a wine cave. Since we would be dog sitting later in the week, we decided to go on Monday. When the kids left for school, we got on the road for Eguisheim, France.Continue reading “Week 102: My Birthday Week!”
Week 101: My Parents Are Back!
My parents are back for another two week visit! We picked them up Tuesday morning from Zurich Airport. We had a busy week with work and school but we were able to have dinner every night at some of our favorite restaurants. Brooklyn’s games this weekend were in Vicenza, Italy, where my family lives. FridayContinue reading “Week 101: My Parents Are Back!”
Week 99: Easter in Amsterdam
Another busy week has flown by! The kids jumped back into school on Monday. Brooklyn’s softball practices started again and at her request, she started taking piano lessons again. We found the most amazing teacher, who is also an opera singer (another of Brooklyn’s passions- yes, really) and we think this is going to beContinue reading “Week 99: Easter in Amsterdam”
Week 98: Spring Break in Marbella
We had the best week ever on Spring Break! I don’t think any of us realized how much we really needed a sunny vacation, but we did and we are all going home feeling truly refreshed. It started on Sunday morning, after about an hour of sleep after the wedding, the night before. There haveContinue reading “Week 98: Spring Break in Marbella”
Week 92: Garmisch
Matt spent the week recovering from his surgery. It was a constant rotation of ice packs, exercises, and medications. He was feeling a little more normal by midweek and was able to get some schoolwork done. Tuesday, the maintenance man returned to finish up our bedroom. It was really frustrating that they finished 95% ofContinue reading “Week 92: Garmisch”
Week 89: Matt’s {Broken Leg} Birthday!
Oh man, what a week this was. It was Matt’s birthday week. We were originally supposed to dog-sit for some friends, but they had a change of plans. Since the loud drying machines were still running, and Matt and I have been sleeping on the couches in the family room, we decided to plan aContinue reading “Week 89: Matt’s {Broken Leg} Birthday!”
Week 87: Tromsø, Norway!
Last week was one of our most boring weeks and this week was pretty crazy! The ‘excitement’ started on Monday when a heating worker came to fix the radiator in Brooklyn’s room, which had been broken since before Christmas break. He came and banged on the boiler and banged on her radiator and it startedContinue reading “Week 87: Tromsø, Norway!”
Weeks 84 & 85: Back in the USA!
We were back in Maryland for almost two weeks for Christmas! We celebrated Christmas Eve, Christmas, a wedding, and New Year’s Eve with our amazing friends and family and spent most of the rest of the trip running around. This has definitely been the hardest goodbye so far, even more than when we first moved.Continue reading “Weeks 84 & 85: Back in the USA!”
Week 83: Christmas in Alsace
Week 83 flew by as it was the last week of school for the kids and Matt. We got an early snow storm during the week. We woke up Wednesday morning to four inches of snow. In true German fashion, all of our neighbors had shoveled the sidewalks in front of their houses by 7am.Continue reading “Week 83: Christmas in Alsace”
