Another New Adventure: Two Under Two

June 07, 2017/ Meghan Oaks

I know it's been quiet around here and for that, I apologize. We've been busy with work, business travel, a little bit of fun travel, and still settling in to our new home. I had forgotten how much work home ownership is! Spring is always busy for us, and this spring has been no exception. But, I'm here today to catch you all up on a new adventure we have decided to tackle: 2 under 2! That's right, we are expecting our second baby in November. Eek! We are excited, nervous, anxious, but also, happy!

Newest Addition

February 24, 2016/ Meghan Oaks

I know that it's been quiet here on the blog for the past couple of weeks, and I sai it was for a very good reason. On January 31, we welcomed our daughter and newest dive buddy into the world! Much to Mom's discomfort, she was 8 days late, but was perfect and healthy. We are slowly settling into our new normal where the nights are longer, but our days are fuller.

A Visit to Eagle's Nest

June 19, 2015/ Meghan Oaks

One place that Aaron and I wanted to visit while we were over here, and other place that was on our bucket list, was Eagle's Nest, Hitler's mountaintop house. We figured it would be perfect to go there with my sister and show her some of the most beautiful Germany countryside ever. After we finished up at Neuschwanstein, we got back in the car and headed towards Berchtesgaden, a national park in the south eastern most part of Germany, right on the border with Austria. We stayed the night in a small Gasthaus (which are quickly becoming our favorite types of places to stay in Europe) that looked out at the mountains. It was stunning.

Schloss Neuschwanstein, aka Sleeping Beauty's Castle

June 16, 2015/ Meghan Oaks

A couple weeks ago, my sister and her friend Chelsea decided to visit us in Germany! It had been months since the last time I saw here and I was so excited. Over the years, we went from living with each other, to seeing each other only a couple times a year (she was in New York for school, I was in the UP), to seeing each other about once a week when we lived in Michigan (she would come over and do laundry). So when we moved to Germany last summer, it was definitely hard to say good bye. We had finally out grown our sibling rivalry and become friends. That's why when she said she was coming to visit for a week, I was stoked!

Family Time

April 21, 2015/ Meghan Oaks

I would like to apologize for the lack of a second post last week. See, I was kind of busy and didn't get a chance to write much, but it was for a good reason - my grandparents were in town! They took a 3 week long, trans-Atlantic cruise from Florida to Italy, and then came to visit for the week. I was too busy showing them our new home and spending time with them that I forgot to write a blog post for Friday. But don't despair, we got lots of fun in and I even managed to get some pictures. And for I think the first time in the history of this blog, a lot of the pictures in this post are my own! Of course they aren't quite as good as the hubby's are, but I don't think they're too shabby.
