We have just returned from almost three weeks back in Maryland! The time flew by and it felt like we were just a busy as we are on a one or two week visit. While we were home, we got to visit with many friends and family, catch up on doctors’ appointments, celebrate Fathers’ Day,Continue reading “Weeks 110 & 111: Back in the USA (Again)”

I got back from my trip to the USA on Tuesday and Wednesday was the last day of school, thank God! It was only a short day and both kids had plans with friends after school so we didn’t see them until late in the afternoon. A few months ago, the kids commented that weContinue reading “Week 108: Le Mans, France”

Its been another busy week. Unfortunately, early on in the week, Brooklyn and I were both struck down by a stomach virus, but we were on the mend quickly.

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!”

When the kids left for school, we got on the road for Eguisheim, France.Continue reading “Week 102: My Birthday Week!”

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!”

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”
