Newest Little Meinzer…..Illianna
Announcing the arrival of Illianna Josephine Meinzer!
She was born on September 11th, 2007, at 6:30pm CDT. She weighs 8lbs and 6oz, and is 21.5 inches long. She is the single most beautiful thing I have ever seen or dreamt of second only to her mother. She has a full head of dark brown hair, grey-blue eyes, and was nursing within minutes of being popped out. Jess is doing great, about to get some sleep since we both need it, but other than that, all things are going well. We will post some pictures tomorrow once we have them, we didn’t get too many good ones tonight due to the obviously hectic environment.
Check out her pictures in Illianna’s photo album
No News is No News
I get a daily maternity newsletter, and today’s topic was No News is No News. So true.
I’ve had time to set up a mass email group to all friends and family, so as soon as she comes all Ryan has to do is fill in the blanks and attach a photo.
I’ve also had time to set up a new category in the gallery that will have her photos.
Blackout
Here are some really cool pics of NYCs recent black out.
Life Update
We are managing to stay busy. Last week was a lot of running around. My dad got a look at the progression of the house. We had Ryans family in town that we never get to see and that was nice to have a visit with them. I dont know that group well, but theyre easy to get along with. Now I feel more comfortable in making a trip up to see them.
Im applying for a permanent position here at ACEP. I dont know if it will end up working out for me or not. I really enjoy the work environment here. Everyone does a really good job and I can tell that theyre happy. They seem to treat their people very well. That goes much further with me than actual job duties. It would be a bit of a drive from the house, however, most of the people working here are from Keller. Im not going to stress about it. If it doesnt end up working out for me here, there has got to be something else out there.
Were going to be attending NBAA again this year. Thats coming up in October. Im really looking forward to it. Were going to hit the static display this year at the airport and walk a few of the planes. Last year we didnt know that was going on until too late. Were also going to Discovery Cove. We are going to hit SeaWorld too. This will be a marine vacation this time. Ive researched a bunch of the different restaurants in the area. We should be eating good! And Im not talking about the horrible touristy stuff, which is all around where well be. Were staying at a much better hotel, location wise, than we did last year. Last year although the hotel was very nice, it was in a not so nice neighborhood. The closest eatery was a diner type place that when we walked it we could feel the grease floating in the air.
Ryans high school reunion is going to be the same weekend we get back from Orlando. Were both looking forward to it because were very comfortable with where we are in life. It always feels good to be able to go neaner neaner to those who used to torment you in high school.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
