The Meineke Clan

Okay, so I have a million blogs, it seems. Well, I have my MySpace and a private one, so okay... Not quite a million. I exaggerate sometimes.

This one is solely devoted to the family. The Meineke Clan - Hank, Jennifer, Devon, Allison, Anna Vista, and last (but surely NEVER the least) Ezra.

Intros? Hank is a Terminal Manager for a logistics company named Nordic. It's still a pretty new division, so he has his ups and downs, but he still kicks some major butt. He is 31, and an awesomely devoted husband and daddy. He loves his guitar, video games, music, and he's an amazing Christian apologist.

Jennifer? MOI? I stay at home during the day with the youngest two monkeys, and three nights a week I wait tables for some spending money. I'm a huge music and music trivia nerd, and I love laughing with my monkeys. They always keep me entertained. I also love church. I had been looking for "something" all my life, and when I married Hank, I started taking adult information classes with the LCMS (Lutheran Church Missouri Synod). I felt at home. Even moreso when we found our current church home, Messiah Lutheran Church in Plano, TX. I'm still growing in my faith, and I'm human, so I have some stumbling blocks. But my faith grows stronger day by day.

Allison is 11.5, and is a middle schooler as of today. I'm eagerly awaiting her return to tell me how it all went (and pictures will come tonight or tomorrow... PROMISE!!!) She just started with the church youth praise team yesterday, and today starts the Oboe in school. She's a total smarteypants and social butterfly.

Devon will be 13 in September, and just started his first year in Junior High. He loves skateboarding, video games and playing the trumpet. (And he's pretty good too! :) ) We only get to see him every other weekend and about half of the summer, so we cherish every minute we get with him.

Anna Vista is 3, and is a smart and funny little girl. (And gorgeous, to boot!) She loves singing, and loves anything Dora or VeggieTales. Her favorite past time is going to the Jack Carter Pool.

Ezra is 2, and is a wonderful little handful! I call him Houdini, because he can get past any baby safe item there is. He's the strong, silent type. He also loves VeggieTales, and seems to have a fascination with pirates.

Here are some recent pictures of our monkeys! Thanks for sticking around to read all of this!
