2004 -- Matt, Lori, Aaron and Elianna Orel: Our Year in Pictures.

We hope the new year finds you happy and healthy, and that this note finds you! We didn't do any letter the last two years, so for far too many, this is our first communication in 3 years.

That's three more years of growth. Aaron has gone from a pre-school kid with all his baby teeth to the middle of 2nd grade. Elianna was crawling 3 years ago, now she's laughing while playing her Clifford the Red Dog computer game.

In the fall of 2003, just before heading to California for our cousin David's wedding, Lori made the plunge for is into digital photography. Electric Sam's and Canon, a great combination, highly recommended!

This letter, is a retrospective of the year 2004, as captured with the camera. We hope you enjoy it!

If you're viewing on the web with Internet Explorer, then either click on one of the thumbnails, or just wait for the presentation to begin in approximately one minute. If this was sent to you as an email or you are using a different browser, you'll need to click on one of the thumbnails to see the presentation, or go to http://matt.orel.ws/2004_album/index.html.

You can just sit back and let it go, the entire suite of pictures will take a little less than 20 minutes to complete. Or jump around. You'll need to allow javascripts and pop-up windows to see it, though!

For those of you that we were able to visit with in 2004... well, we probably have pictures of you, but most likely you won't find 'em here. We figure you already know what you look like! Anyway, we'd be happy to send you copies of anything we have, just send us an email. We can also send along the full-size images of any of the pictures in this presentation.

We hope you enjoy the pictures!
