a person in 60 photos in 2016 max showing 2016 only · show all years On Thursday morning we went to Odessa for breakfast before Brett, Amy and Max headed back to DC. ....to see where Amy was hiding this supposed brother! ...when he realized what it said was priceless. He wanted to try on the shirt and he wanted... Train is too loud! ...and took the subway out to Brooklyn. Cooperative bus driving. We took the subway... Max was excited to see my apartment. ...to my apartment in the East Village! Later that night we installed a cool, Captain America shield night light in Max's room. Max liked Uncle Bruce's Batman Castle gift the most. After all the presents were opened... Great to watch my parents be grandparents on Christmas. Max was in his Spiderman hoodie and I showed him how to take a good photo with someone. He took my phone... Let the upwrapping begin! Cut to 7am Christmas morning! While my parents hung out with Max... Very excited to wake up and unwrap his presents in the early morning. Got Max ready for bed in his Christmas Jammies. Mom hanging out with Max. I also love Max's serious expression about his seed-podling sword I'd fashioned for him in the yard as he wished me and Maddy farewell. Haha. Love this pic! The inaugural ride! He was pretty excited! Max outside waiting for his gift. Happy birthday, Max! Lol, so excited about cake. That swingset feeling. ...fireman outfit! Max is always excited to see me! Mom & Max playing in the sand. Police & fire dept section. The mall store turned into a weird hands on playground for kids. They had a grocery store section. ...and headed to a nearby mall. On Sunday morning we Amy, Emily and I loaded Max up... Max was excited to show me his superhero costumes. Had a birthday video call with Max who wanted me to see his developing "lava ball" skills. (His favorite game that I made up). Lots and lots of fort-building cushion action! ...our related, messy, morning hair! Up early again before work hanging out with Max! Taking pictures to compare... This guy had me up bright and early on Monday morning. (Rain boots and diaper, for the win!) Haha. Related. Fun to watch the next generation of cousins in the pool together! On Sunday we headed over to my cousin Chris' house! Lotsa boy Battjers & Dexter the dog! Max thinks it's hilarious that Maddy fits into her dog carrier and wanted to see... ...if he could also fit! ...and hung out with Brett & Max! ...the Sandia Peak Tramway... My dad making Max laugh. ;) (I'm writing this in January 2019, four months after my father's passing and it's nice to see all these photos of him). Miss you, dad! Later that evening, we got dressed up and headed to the wedding! ...to get some energy out before the wedding. On Saturday we took Max to the park... My cousin Danny and his wife, Jess Brett, Amy & Max! Max getting ready to hide from me! Haha. Played his favorite game: GARBAGE PAIL KIDS! The next morning, I surprised Max who was playing with my mom.
