Home sweet Luxembourg. We are all around grateful to be coming back to a situation we already know the ins and outs to. We were more so fly by the seat of our pants without little miss Brynn. Our friends here welcomed us with food stocked up and a wonderful table set up for the three of us.

We also came home to a newly renovated apartment. We were happy with our apartment prior to, but boy is it glorious!!

Brynn has adjusted well. I was really feeling down the week leading up to our departure. Feeling like once again I am taking Brynn away from what she knows and where she is comfortable. Kiddos sure do adjust easily and quickly. It's the mommas who fret. Everyday I tell her that this is her home again, but that soon we will go back to Texas. Tell her all about the friends she made here before and that they are ready to play. Every night I lay her in her bed. I nuzzle her neck, tell her I love her and that her new bed is so wonderful.

As you can see Brynn is back in action as her old self. 

We are truly looking forward to our second season here. It has been a lot easier settling back in since we have been here before. Maybe I forgot how hard first times in a new place can be. I know God has amazing things in store in both our personal lives and basketball lives. I'm ready to buckle down on finances, travel our little hearts out and enjoy life just the 3 of us.

Here's to our fifth season abroad. Where "see ya laters" never get easier and times get sweeter.

Catch Up.

I've been a little MIA from the blog since coming home. Everything has been nothing less than crazy. We are enjoying being back home for the summer something bad. I love to watch Brynn with my parents and all our friends. She has really grown quickly this past month and is so much fun. As you know from her 10 month post of walking…. she is into EVERYTHING. She definitely keeps me on my toes.

We went to Florida for 2 weeks 4 days after getting back from Europe. It was such an amazing trip. I hate that we can't be there longer. 

We spent some time in our college town seeing some of our best friends. That too is another place I always hate leaving.(Good thing they are headed here Friday!)

Brad and I are both back into the full swing of work. Brynn is at her first in home daycare and it's amazing. Brad is in his 2nd week of basketball camp that he puts on, loving it as always. 

We head to Iowa for fourth of July to see my dads side of the family and can't wait! They haven't seen Brynn since she was 7 weeks old. 

I have been working long and hard on Brynn's first birthday flamingo-pineapple extravaganza. Along with custom invites and pineapple flower arrangements. Let's be real, her birthday party is really actually for me. She won't remember a thing, but she will be lookin' super cute and eat lots of cake!

Lots of sunshine and pool days. 

Playing outside is our new favorite…..and eating rocks.

I feel like every summer we make all these plans. Some are getting left behind this time. We are really trying to focus on spending lots if quality time with our family and friends. The summers fly by entirely too fast. I don't want to miss a thing.
