7 days left


With 7 days of summer left it is officially time for back to school! While the kids get excited for shopping and friends, they are sad to see their summer freedoms fading! While I get excited for a little bit of freedom, and quiet, I also will miss relaxing mornings play games and reading! Plus it's easy to say that my husband is not looking forward to the 3 sleepy and moody people that will take over our house next week! It’s time to say goodbye to sleeping in, to lazy days, to the freibads (community pools) and biergartens( well, almost!

So, what do I (we) have to look forward to this fall? First and for most I am so excited to not be the new family! My kids are so happy that they aren't starting from scratch at ISS.  We aren't nervous for school, which makes life easier. We are happy to helping out at school, making new friends, and meeting teachers.

We are already planning amazing fall and winter vacations! (I will be writing this blog next week) We are so ready to travel more, December marks the half way point in our living in Germany and there is so much still to do! We are ready for fall activities like Volksfest (http://www.cannstatter-volksfest.de/). Yes, we even have the Dirndl now! I am personally anticipating the arrival of fall weather! I love when the nights cool, leaves fall, and sweatshirts go on!

Yes, summer is over. School is starting. We had some great times, but now it's time to make memories as 5th graders and has 3rd graders! It's time to embrace that backpacks, homework, and the joy that comes in each new season! Wish us luck….
