Of course, you do. How could you forget such a cutie? Anyways, one of the many perks of staying in Karlsruhe is getting to keep in touch with my au pair family. They are my favorite six-pack and it is always fun to get together and continue watching the kids grow up. Liam has grown [...]

First, I must thank y’all for the overwhelming sympathy I received after my wisdom teeth surgery. I think is potentially my most commented on post ever. I am a baby chipmunk and I need all the attention I can get – coming through in the clutch, like always. You guys are the best. I am [...]

A lot has been going on since I became an M-I-A blogger. I tried to redeem myself here with a first Turkey post, but then ran away again. But alas, the two week holiday in Germany is over, the kids are back in school, I am back to work, slowly getting my life back together, [...]

All probably four of my Camp Mystic readers out there will get the title reference. But that’s beside the point, I really have some big news over here. When I was crying saying goodbye to my mother, my hometown and the good ole USA at Bush Intercontinental Airport way back on May 31, 2011, [...]
