a person in 53 photos in 2017 brett showing 2017 only · show all years Brett and I checking out of Me, Brett and my cousins Lindsey & Chad with my mom's parents Ann & Bill....guessing 1985? Came home and digitized a bunch of old photos at my parent's place. Brother time at the airport with the ween. Mom couldn't stop crying because she kept thinking about how it was probably dad's last Christmas (it was). On our last night we took family pics by the tree. ...my dad's best friend Roger and his wife Bonnie for dinner. Roger is British and my dad's version of Grant. It was really sweet to watch them hang out and interact. (Sadly, Roger passed away just a few months after my dad in late 2018.) Brett makes his "look we're doing something that mom made us do" face. This ornament is really cute. Love looking back at old photos. (Who would've guessed that about me, right?) That evening Brett and I helped our Mom setup and decorate the Christmas Tree. Compared to this flashback pic from the late 90s! ...to McDonalds! Second time in one-week! Friday night we went over to Uncle Bruce's... Thanks for having as, Chris & Jen! Brett giving Romeo some love. Visited with Grandma in the afternoon. Happy Thanksgiving from the Battjers! <3 We finished that bad boy in ten minutes and then made the drunk decision... One last pitcher for last call! ...the smell of the sawdust takes me back! Got up early Monday morning to spend some time with Max before school... Just in time to catch these rugrats before dinner and bedtime. Later that afternoon, I picked up Brett and we went to hang with Dad in the hospital. Brett showing off his moves in Superhot VR. ...to play some VR! Dexter trying to get a puff of that sweet vape. My dad's brother Bruce and his two sons Chris & Steve all came to the hospital to visit my dad. All the Battjer boys in one place! Set up to hang with my dad. ...and some heated shuffleboard! After dinner, the cousin's headed to the excellent Florida stripmall bar, Harpers, for drinks.... ...when we were feeling like this. Props to the Uber driver who had to pick up our rowdy drunk asses several hours later.... Thanks for coming along with me, Brett! I had originally planned on just buying the truck outright, but my brother told me that I should apply for their 4-year, 0% financing. I have never had a credit card and don't have much of a credit history, so my brother offered to co-sign with me! ...my parent's video conferencing with newly arrived baby Sam back in DC. Cute moment catching... Brett and I got to unbox a videogame system together for the first time since the early 90s! lol ...where we bought each other NintendoDS so we could play in the hospital and kill some time together. ...and then headed over to Best Buy... After a few hours in the morning, Brett and I went out to grab lunch... His dad popped on to say hi also! Once the kids were asleep, we had another VR party! Brett & Sam. Max likes to help dad with things. ....came over for dinner. Proud papa with number two! After Max was asleep, Brett busted out his VR set up and we took turns playing. Brothers! Had a lovely back yard fire man-hang with my brother's nextdoor neighbor Craig.
