January 6th, 2007 was a big day with a surprise cesarian!

Alana Brynn Blacksburg was born at 0914 on the 6th.  Weighing in at 8lb 4oz and measuring 21.5 inches long.

She's beautiful!  (I'm biased, I know)

There are more pictures on Alana's journal ...

They did an eight ship flight the other week. It was truly a beautiful sight, all of them starting up the engines at the same time, like a ballet of planes. A bunch of the spouses and I were watching with the kids and waving.

Yeah it took a while, but we have so many pictures that upload is the biggest pain. :) You'll have to pardon the horrible top and the fatness. The top is a BX special, I swear to god the buyers for this place are blind and stupid. I tried to buy a swimsuit the other day and all they had was a sailor outfit!!!

Earlier this year ... I think late May, there was a festival in town.  I love European festival rides, they are wayyyy messed up.  This rollercoaster was not only a roller coaster but the cart actually spun around while you're zipping around turns.

I was playing around with my Photobucket account and found a new way to put pics together. Aw don't Jasen and Ari look just like uncle and nephew ... same expressions and everything.

I find commercials that are just tooo funny to pass up. One of my friends saw this the other day on TV and I had to try and find it. Thank you YouTube for making that possible.

It's slightly indelicate for non-europeans ... but it's a Peugeot commercial. Leave a comment

The cats are teasing him. LOL ( Read more... )

Got back from Venice on Tuesday as expected. Whew I was and still am pretty wiped out ( Read more... )

Jasen's already left. I'm leaving tomorrow. I'm flying into Milan and then taking the train to Jasen's hotel. It's an hour from Venice and he'll be out all day Th and F, so I get to party it up on the ocean front. Woot!

Picture posting will come later OF COURSE. You'll just have to deal with my new huge tummy though.

Thank Goodness my Jason and Shane (brother and sister-in-law) love taking pictures. And curses to my doctor that wouldn't let me travel to see my new nephew.

Welcome to the world Ari Pace!!

Aw!  He doesn't look too scared ... okay yeah he does.  Sweetness at it's cutest.
