best + mom — My mom kept crying because my dad's cancer was continuing to progress and we all knew this would probably be the last time we'd all be together.

best + mom — ...my parent's video conferencing with newly arrived baby Sam back in DC.

best + mom — <3

best + mom — Happy Mother's Day, mom! You really do crack me up!

best + mom — I made my mom a photo collage tribute for Mother's Day and had to screenshot it and text it to her because she doesn't use the apps.

best + mom — Speaking of holiday traditions!

best + mom — Later that evening, we got dressed up and headed to the wedding!

best + mom — Battjers!

best + mom — Christmas 1987 - my brother and I freaking out about getting the long-awaited PHANTASY STAR for the Sega Master System. This was the first RPG I ever got into and it exploded both of our brains!

best + mom — Ann and her four daughters! Happy birthday, Grandma!

best + mom — Give it back!

best + mom — Bealls & Battjers!

best + mom — On Friday morning I packed my bags and said farewell to the exuberant grandparents.

best + mom — ...like this excellent three-piece deluxe set of screen-cleaners! SCORE!

best + mom — Brett and Amy's apartment was full with all sorts of new baby gear, so they'd asked for no presents, but my mom still insisted on getting Brett "a little something"...

best + mom — We went down to Ann & Walt's house for Christmas Eve. Nice to watch kids unwrap a ton of presents!

best + mom — Here's Brett's bemused expression as our mom absolutely SHATTERED both of our top scores and keep on going.

best + mom — We got up bright and early on Thursday to catch our flight. Here's my parents waving us goodbye. Adorable.

best + mom — For our last evening in town, we went out to an awesome Mexican dinner with my parents and Bruce and Elyse!

best + mom — And also dogs. Haha.

best + mom — Oh, it's because my mom must've walked out! Hahah.

best + mom — My parents cutting some serious rug. My dad is ALL about the hustle. Yes!

best + mom — All of the houses have screened in back porches.

best + mom — It's like a photo of Peter Griffin going skiing! (PS - Remember when Fatty and I borrowed all my parents old ski gear to go skiing and it ended up looking like we were going to an 80s party in Williamsburg?)

best + mom — And soooo many great photos. Check out my parents posing for this clutch ski photo circa 88.

best + mom — ...our mom (who HATES smoking) figured out where we'd all disappeared to. And sure enough, a few minutes later, she found us! Hahaha.

best + mom — ...a new golf driver! Too bad my mom hates golf! Hahahah.

best + mom — I got up to help him out and was told that he didn't need any help "figuring out his own camera, Goddamnit!" So I took some photos of everyone waiting. Hahah.

best + mom — Here are the fruits of his labor though. Well worth the wait!

best + mom — "Now throw your hands in the air and scream!"

best + mom — Brett with the fam.

best + mom — Check out my mom rocking the toboggan in her aqua snowsuit with hot magenta boots! (She looks like one of the female supervillans from a James Bond flick circa '84).
