Shotsa the fam (mostly)
 
This album is starting to get unwieldy, so I've grouped the pictures by event, with the most recent at the top. Within event-groups, however, the pics are ordered chronologically. Get it? ;)
 

   


SEATTLE 2004 - Evie's commissioning. 3 Foist women. Can you say, 'hhhhhhot'? ;)
The new 2nd lieutenant and her grandma, Betty Foist.
SPRING 04 FOR EVIE. Her roommate threw a party at the Philosopy Dept. office.
Trish also organized a group to buy Ev's sword.
GABE'S WEDDING, 5/04. Ev and I like to make our bro feel special. Sorry, Josh.
Somehow we're always missing one ... but it was his first day married.
JOSH'S BOOT CAMP GRADUATION, 3/04.
Dad congratulates his son.
Josh shows off his dog tags.
Dad (ex-Navy) and his two soldier-sons (Marines, National Guard).
What's with the body language, yo? I guess they have to stand at attention.
Somehow, Dad wouldn't look quite right with a handphone.
Our 3 soldiers.
Now here's the Josh we know and love ... the one who loves an audience.
There had been a bomb threat, so we were all detained on base for a while.
The Foist men at the San Diego Park Zoo.
NEW ZEALAND, 11/03. Just another coffee break in Nelson.
Mom and Dad practice their Mandarin.
Eating fish & chips at twilight.
At Mom's insistence, we staged a photo shoot at their YHA hostel.
Dad and I, however, became confused about whose spectacles were whose...
Spectacle? What spectacle?
A committed guitarist, Dad even took it with him to New Zealand!
Later, as we drove (very slowly) to Christchurch, it was time for a rest stop.
I mean, a canoodling stop.
Hm ... does he mean, "take the picture" or, "sex is great"?
Must have been the latter.
Still, after 26 years, that ain't bad!
Before returning to a long drive, Dad paused to enjoy the scenery.
You know, to really let loose.
Then Mom and I had our fun.
And I pretended I could do fireman's carries like my sibs.
Dad settles the age-old drawers question, briefly.
ARIZONA, 12/03. Dad and Gabe swap uniforms.
Gabe and Eva as an engaged couple.
EV'S OCS GRADUATION, 8/03. The skinny Marine.
Forced smiles? Waddya talkin' about? (Ev and some Deffinbaughs)
Ev catches up with a cousin's young daughter ... so ... her 2nd cuz??
A picture Josh took of us in DC... Drama? What drama?
Gee, Josh really knows how to capture the love....
Let's not talk about how bad WE look ... what is that frolicking on the lawn?!!
After watching Evie graduate, Josh bused back to NY with me.
ARIZONA, 2002. A picture of us all, minus Evie.
SEATTLE, 2002. A shot of Ev and Mom from the house next to the meth lab.
