Here's some snaps of Angela and Isaiah from August 2001. When I first saw these today I cried a little. Both of them have grown up beautiful but I really loved them as kids ... a lot of good memories.

Jim and Rachel are our friends from NSV. They lead a small group and seem to be really super folks. Rachel took Oktoberfest a little more serious (chatting with Mark, Cathy, and Barb) while Jim and I took got more involved in the spirit of the celebration.

Well it's Oktoberfest time in Cincinnati!

Barb and I went downtown with some friends from our small group and a couple from another group. A good time was had by all.

Especially me. There's just something I love about watching people.

These are the top forenames:

And there are a few Dreher's (Barb's people) out there - mostly in Germany - big surprise. Also good people.
