Emma's Visits St. Nick

Goodness knows what Emma really asked for Christmas...but it appeared to be a deep conversation with Santa. I don't think even Emma bought off on his beard however!


Much to our surprise, Emma's 1st ever visit with Santa was very smooth. Although a little timid, Emma went right up and told Santa what she was interested in receiving for "Crimas" (as she pronounces it).

ELOQUENT!

A venerable feast!!!! Bet everyone's Thanksgiving looked as good as this.

FOREVER INDEED, and the legend continues...Emma can hardly contain herself.

Doing our part to be good ambassadors to our Korean friends.

After a long trip back home, Little Miss Emma rolls on the Tabriz dressed up as a cat.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I'm sure you all remember Nate....

"Leggo the *&^$% juice!"

...always the pair, Nate and Emma definitely keep respective parents jumping.

Be sure to check back soon for more adventures of the Dynamic Duo!

Italian Mosaic

Unfortunately the gloom of fall & winter has finally descended on us here south of the 38th parallel. Lucky for us (and you the viewer) we still have our beautiful images from "The EPIC TRIP". We thought it was about time to finish up with some pictures from Italy...our Italian Mosaic made up of pictures. We'll limit the captions, sure hope you enjoy the images.

O'Fest 2007

Anytime is the right time for Oktoberfest! - Even if it's a month later. Hope you all enjoy the photos. Stay tuned for more posts from our EPIC trip.

"Are you going to Oktoberfest too?" askes Emma riding the train to Munchen.

Welcoming all who travel from afar...say Korea for instance. A welcome sight!

No better place to re-unite with friends than OPENING day...Moses, Vegas, Midnight, Sputnik & Tom.

Almost makes you feel dirty...almost.

Nothing attracts the ladies better than a great smile.

No optical illusion here...that pretzel is bigger than Emma!

Enjoying some rays, drinking a cold liter of Lowenbrau with Gus, Mo and co.

PROST!!!

EIN PROSIT...EIN PROSIT....

I'm sure you've all been waiting for this. The 3rd installment of our EPIC adventure. Following are pictures of "THE NIGHT BEFORE" Oktoberfest. Standard tradition to hit THE HOFBRAUHAUS the night prior, it was everything I remembered and more. Enjoy the photos and video.

P.S. Any and all pictures with a likeness of Tom are only coincidence.

Amateurs! Look at the foam this guy is creating.

I shouldn't complain, the New Yorkers sitting at our table picked up the 1st round. Thanks Kids.

Gus shows his displeasure over spilt bier.

Johnny, Krystal and Tom warming up and stretching out for Opening day...

Pretzel (Brezn) eating is serious business...you can't take this stuff lightly folks!

Okay, maybe you can take it lightly.

Short video giving you just a taste of the insanity! Video is a little shaky, but that was due to the 6.9 magnitude eathquake occuring at the time, funny thing is no one even noticed.
