The Engelbrecht-Smyth Odyssey

We had a festivity-filled December and New Year’s!  Four new albums chronicling Christmas concerts, boys’ birthdays, euphoric Yuletiding, and maritime Monterey.  Relive the merriment in our albums…

After we returned from Alaska, we had three more big summer events — Evya’s fourth birthday, a stellar swim team season, and a trip to NYC!  Check out all the pictures from our packed summer…

Our highlights of December through February…

In the ten weeks of Summer 2012, we traveled to Europe, Evya had a Pirate Party for her third birthday, we spent a week at Eel River, the kids did swim team, we had a visit from the Engelbrecht cousins, and Tyrian spent a week at Stanford.  Five cameras and 7756 pictures later, we have selected the most memorable images to share with you.  Come with us through the family Gallery as we reflect on our experiences.

We have six new albums to kick off 2012, ranging from the more recent Easter and April Birthdays to the family’s Winter adventures and Matt’s trip to Shanghai. Between we squeezed Spring and a trip to DC for Tyrian and Allyndreth… it’s quite a variety!  Explore them all through the main site, or select your favorite from the links above.

We’re thrilled to share our December memories with you – before they get stale! Matt had a Big Birthday, Tyrian turned eleven, and then there was Christmas.

Quick on the heels of the major midyear pictures comes the birthday of our youngest… so please enjoy her birthday celebration album as well!

We have six albums to reflect the first half of 2011.  You can start in January with Daily Moments, see the newest pictures of Summer, or see them all through the main gallery.

Since Christmas 2011 is only nine months away, we decided it was time to post Christmas 2010 pictures… we’ve also got the December birthdays and other festivities for your viewing pleasure.

We give thanks this year that we could celebrate on the Big Island of Hawaii all our many blessings.  Relive with us our warm times and climes.
