Heading to Germany...

There are only a few days before I am again getting on a plane and heading across the pond. This time, I am off to Germany for a conference and will hopefully do a little exploring in the Black Forest area and over into South-eastern France. Mostly, it will be work but I am trying to extract a little pleasure and adventure out of it as well.

Meanwhile, there is a household and three kids to prepare for my absence. Lucy is getting in a groove at the U of O but it is still a huge adjustment. Stuart and Lilly are in typical transition as well. I have absolute confidence that they will all be fine, but that will not stop me from fussing a bit and trying to make sure everything is in order for my absence. As of today, we are all healthy and all the bases seem to be covered (knock on wood.)

It has been the most incredibly beautiful fall so far and I'm a little bummed that I won't be around to enjoy the decorated house, the brisk weather and the amazing colors--but I am looking forward to seeing what Germany and France have to offer too! I will be back just in time for Halloween and the officially start of the holiday season!
