The Foltice Family Blog. Sunday, December 9, 2012. German Speaking Update - 2 Year Mark. I can’t believe it has been two years since we have moved to Germany. We have been through a lot and have had so many experiences, both good and bad, during our time here. I wanted to give you an update on how our German language skills are progressing. The actual answer actually depends on what your reference point is. He was expecting something more, like a fluent. Many try, very few succeed. A really important par...

The Foltice Family Blog: The Pimmelman Story
http://foltice.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-pimmelman-story.html
The Foltice Family Blog. Friday, August 23, 2013. Bryan has been bugging me to write about the Pimmelman story on the blog for a while now, so here it is. This illustrates how it can sometimes be really difficult (and funny) raising a bi-lingual child when the child's grasp of the foreign language begins to surpass your own. Nein, DU bis die Pimmelman! And thinking they were really funny. The boys were getting really riled up so I took them to the park to burn off some energy, and the whole way there...

The Foltice Family Blog: Breaking the Ice With Germans - You're Only 3 Hellos Away
http://foltice.blogspot.com/2013/08/breaking-ice-with-germans-youre-only-3.html
The Foltice Family Blog. Monday, August 19, 2013. Breaking the Ice With Germans - You're Only 3 Hellos Away. If you aren’t familiar with the research I am doing here at the University of Münster, I am working on my PhD in Behavioral Finance. I am fortunate enough to conduct a number of experiments here for my dissertation. If it would fit my dissertation topic (it doesn’t) I would do an experiment with a large group of people that I have tested myself with success (again, I am only a sample of one).

The Foltice Family Blog: June 2012
http://foltice.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
The Foltice Family Blog. Tuesday, June 12, 2012. Big D is 3! Big D turned 3 last week and we celebrated by taking him to the local zoo, which was tons of fun. His best buddy from Borken along with his parents joined us and Dylan had so much fun that every day since then he has asked if we can go back. This is as close as he would get to the donkeys. Checking out the elephants. These boys shared wagon-pulling duty all day. He's trying to show us on his fingers how old he is. In other news, the shingles ar...

The Foltice Family Blog. Wednesday, September 19, 2012. Catch Up Post - What You Missed in the Last Six Weeks. The last six weeks have been a blur for us. I am sorry we didn’t take the time to post updates, but I remain fairly unapologetic because at the time, we really didn’t have much spare time to send blog posts. Now that I have a few minutes, here is a quick update from our last six weeks. Monday, August 6. I started a two week, between semesters, vacation. It’s like heroin. Take Dylan to Kindergart...

Transparent To User: December 2010

Paris: Le Battement de Cœur et Les Rêves - Part 2. Antoine's flat was in a neighborhood known as Oberkampf in the 11th arrondissement. Most travel guidebooks this year will tell you that Oberkampf is an up-and-coming neighborhood near Place de la République that features good restaurants and bars that have a slightly grungy, contra-tourist, "authentic Parisienne" atmosphere. We never actually met Antoine and we never saw Julie again. We decided to stay in a flat in Paris because we were. Wall was taped a...

150 Days Since Paris. I really have no explanation as to why I've been paralyzed from finishing my thoughts on Paris. It was amazing. Maybe I'm afraid that it's gone beyond my grasp.

Transparent To User: Amsterdam: The Unrequested Baptism in Highly Undervalued Shoes
http://transparenttouser.blogspot.com/2010/10/amsterdam-unrequested-baptism-in-highly.html
Amsterdam: The Unrequested Baptism in Highly Undervalued Shoes. Is today the day? Yes, today should be the day, it feels right, it's noon and I'm not sick. But it's cloudy. It's been raining again and the park will be muddy and wet. It's probably going to rain more. But where else should we go? There's no place better. It's better with chocolate, but save some for later. You never know when your life might demand more chocolate. A little muddy dog runs past. The sun finds it's way around the clouds which...
