The Engelbrecht-Smyth Odyssey

We have four albums illustrating the last quarter of 2018, from fall activities to Tyrian’s 18th birthday and the holiday celebrations.  Or view them all from the homepage.

Pardon our technical difficulties — we’re back online, with more pictures than ever!  Please enjoy Winter, Spring, Summer, and Swimming 2018… or view all the pictures in the gallery.

A Chronicle of the latter half of 2017… from the first day of school through New Year’s Eve!

See all the fun in our Gallery!

We’re finally recovering from the swirl of summer activities, which yielded two packed albums.  Check out Summer 2017 and Swim Team 2017!

The heat of the summer has thawed the winter glacier blocking the flow of pictures… here are winter and spring albums to enjoy!

Our December holiday/birthday extravaganza went off the beaten track this year as we spent most of December in Europe. The Engelbrecht side of the family met in Germany to launch a weeklong river cruise, Jewels Along the Danube.

Prior to the cruise, Evya, Allyndreth, Matt and Christina went to Munich a few days early to explore and experience German Christmas preparations.

After the cruise, the five of us spent a week in London, spanning either side of Christmas.

As a result of our globetrotting, our Christmas celebrations and the December birthday festivities for Matt and Tyrian spanned 6 weeks. Four birthday parties (x2) and four Christmas observances. We’ll be hibernating the rest of the Winter.

If you’d like to catch up on all the albums, visit the main gallery.

New albums encapsulating May through November, including highlights like Evya’s 7th birthday and Halloween.

A packed December, a packed April, and everything in between!

Quick before the holidays hit, we’ve posted pictures from the end of summer through our Thanksgiving week family getaway to Disneyland… enjoy!

Summer 2015 began with 3 weeks exploring Istanbul and mainland Greece.

We have 15 albums to share the trip.

We have also posted the travelogues we were sending to loved ones as we recounted our day to day adventures. The photos and tales in the kids’ journals often give a different perspective from the main narrative in the albums. You could even say, perhaps, that they tell the true story….
