Christmas 2005
The neat thing about having three teenage daughters with electronic cameras is that there is never a shortage of pictures to choose from. I have been spending some time this evening looking back at all the stuff that has happened in the last year.
Anna graduated from High School this past fall. She was accepted a a few colleges and chose American University in Washington, DC.
She just finished her first semester last week. She's doing well and having a great time being independent. Washington has so many opportunities.
It sure is a pretty place to visit. We try to drive down once and awhile to see the sights
Eva and Maria are busy in the High School drama group (Masques). There are many a late night spent building sets. Eva is quite talented in the Graphic Arts, designing a T-shirt for the group and a poster for the most recent show.
Maria is a fan of the band Yellowcard. I got the treat of taking she and her friends to the Stone Pony to see them. It's been awhile since I've been in a club. It seems that the sets are longer and the bands are louder. Or perhaps I am just getting a bit older...
This past summer we went to Poland. This time we stayed in an area away from the mountains as Monika's parents need to avoid the altitude
We rode bikes and spent time walking in the woods. Monika's brother came to visit from Austria along with Cousin Joanna. Krakow was as beautiful as ever. This time Anna wrote a few great travel pieces. Click here to read and enjoy.
Monika passed a test this year that makes her a Master Interpreter, giving her extra pay and stature in the translating community. She is getting more and more work each year.
We took a few more pictures in our series of "time lapse" pictures this year. One we take is on the steps at Monika's parent's house in Poland. Click here for the before and after.
And we took another in a series of our "train shots". Click here to see the whole series.
We hope that you and your family have a wonderful Holiday season, and that the New Year brings you continued good health and greater prosperity.
